I remember when Twitter first went live or whatever and I was like “who the fuck would use this? Who is this for?” And promptly forgot about it totally for like 10 years. Boy was I surprised, and still am every day!, at how many people apparently desperately wanted to use the worst possible platform to spread news… for that exact purpose.
Basically, I’m an OG hater and I can’t stop hating… ever. Other good early hating calls made by me: facebook and league of legends. I also suffer from early things that become incredibly popular like those three. I also thought the iPhone, Apple Watch and iPad were all the dumbest fucking things ever at their respective announcements. I guess I wasn’t wrong in many ways, but my reasons (“but… I have an iPod and a flip phone… the fuck do I need this new phone for?”) were shit.
Anyway fuck Twitter and I hope Musk chokes on an emerald
