Clearly it's impossible to be a Twitter participant & moderator & objective as PG explained recently in a comment.

The real question is what should Twitter 2.1 (3.0?) look like? From both a social-media user and business perspective.

So far all social media follow advertising business model and inevitably skew the platofm towards what advertisers will consider a safe space for their brand.

There are studies indicating a somewhat left-wing bias of large companies and social-media but is it really a problem? I read somewhere that views morerately centre-left more accuratly fit with reality. On top of that being optimistic about the future also correlates with all (or most) left wing policies evntually coming true.

But somehow we fell into a culture war or are made to believe there is a culture war ongoing because this maximises clicks. Majority of people are centrist / neutral and are not really catered to by the media - perhaps getting more neutral content in fron of the reader is the way forward - but neutral content does badly on click metrics. Is advertising model of the web the root of all evil ??
