I'm amazed by the amount of abuse that's prevalent on Twitter. This is based on observation of replies to tweets by certain individuals. Abusive comments being retweeted and fav'd is such a commonplace. It's hard to imagine how can one continue using the platform.

It's apparent that there are huge number of accounts that are created in order to promote individuals, governments, products, ...

Twitter seems to be only interested in user base growth (which would directly affect its valuation).

It's about who you follow. I never see any abuse on Twitter, but I am ruthless about unfollowing anybody who is overly negative or abusive. I also have a few mute filters for topics I'm not interested in. It makes for a much better experience.
