Hi all. I don't tweet much anymore because the fun got sucked out of it by you know who. I've got some cool news to share soon, but for now, be kind.
Oh, and this blue check was fun for a while but I'll be glad it's gone. There's no scenario where I'd pay to create content.
pre-elon twitter: pls free me from this hellsite
post-elon twitter: Everyday with you all has been a gift. I owe my career, my friendships, and my marriage to this community. I’ve fostered compassion and activism each and everyday with you all, fighting the good fight (1/40)
If this is the end, I'm actually sad to see Twitter go. It was mostly fun, especially interacting with so many of you. Hopefully we'll all find each other somewhere out there.
Stay safe. Be kind.
Any publisher for any site on the web will tell you this is false. Twitter is invaluable as a news source and for seeing what's happening in real time, but as far as driving traffic/revenue to an editorial outlet, its value is effectively nil.
