I guess it does make their communication feel a bit more personal, especially since they usually don't use corporate language on personal twitter accounts.

It’s just a different form of sanitized corporate PR even if the voice is tweaked for the medium.

At least traditional bland corporate PR doesn’t try to build up a weird parasocial relationship with the product owner/dev trying to act like your buddy, and per OP also often follows a consistent process without memorizing the personal handles of the current org chart.

Maybe, but:

- I don’t use most social media and even if I did I don’t follow (and definitely do not want to) hierarchies of various corporations;

- Twitter is hostile platform (thanks xcancel);

- Who the hell is Tibo? And to be brief I don’t want to care who he is.
