Twitter is slowly eating itself, and it's almost funny to see it.

But also I can't help feeling sad because Twitter has been valuable for so many reasons to a lot of people.

Well yeah, at it's best it was 100% a force for good. It's not at it's best any more.

No business is a force for good. They are all there to make a profit. If they appear to be doing good, it's because that image is one that they feel is profitable. It can change at a moment's notice if they decide that going a different direction is profitable (e.g. Twitter).

I met my ex-wife on Twitter. It can go to hell. 🌚
