I think Twitter definitely goes both ways. It encourages and legitimises an ocean of garbage discourse. But then there are also people who use it as a tool for legitimate art.

Personally I think of those accounts when I try to justify staying on the platform. It's not a reasonable justification but somehow it keeps me there.

Yeah you're probably right.

The main account i had in mind when I wrote my comment was this: https://mobile.twitter.com/Ayishat_Akanbi

In each tweet she manages to capture a very nuanced point that doesn't seem to require further explanation. The last couple of tweets doesn't feel like they are totally representative thought.
