Why do I still get an instant headache when I read Twitter. It's like a bad meeting with a few blowhards that suck out all the air, except magnified by 100x.

Strange how just because it's on Twitter, people treat it as if it has more value than any other online comment thread. No one is going through YouTube or Breitbart comments and pretending they have value beyond anonymous ranting.

I think because Twitter's energy is different. People intend their forum accounts to be relatively anonymous, but expect twitter to be a place where you show your name and face. Twitter is more personal.

Yeah, and while some people talk big with no credentials/experience to back up the talk, there are a lot of people I don't know personally that I follow whose opinions I trust more than some anonymous forum commentator.

That being said, I deleted Twitter in January and am much happier for it.

I prefer to think of it as a human chicken coop. There may be some greater signal in the madness but pretty sure it’s 99% just yelling and poop.
