I'd argue that is a benefit. Imagine if people took Twitter and the Twitverse less seriously

Imagine a "Tweet to Fart" extension in the same vein as "Cloud to Butt". Lets see: "How could you refart that fart?! :angry_face: That's a terrible fart." Maybe I'm just juvenile but that might be funny enough to make twitter usable again.

In other words, I don't really mind "toot". It casts the medium with a healthy perspective on itself.

It's a benefit for society, but it's a big negative for the project. Twitter wouldn't be half as popular if it didn't stroke the egos of its users.
