Twitter is terrible as a social platform. It's a great platform to get quick news about something. Obviously platforms like these thrive during eventful times. Just look at who is posting about the Ukraine/Russia war. But it's not about dialogue or threads. It's only consumption.

Imagine a world where social media companies drove controversial events just to drive engagement metrics.

Replace the word "drove" with the word "stoked" and you have the current world.
