WHY THE FUCK IS ANYONE ON TWITTER ANYMORE.
It has a "chicken or egg" problem. There are better alternatives, except many don't use them because their userbase is still on Xitter, and said userbase don't want to move away from Xitter because their faves are still there. I deleted it from my phone, but I keep my account in case I need to look up something there, or to not get my identity stolen and exploited.
Don't discount the FOMO factor as well. It's what kept me on Reddit.
twitter has fomo?
Absolutely. Journalists post the latest news. Stuff they don't report on trends. Maybe you'll miss something big if you leave Twitter! That's the thinking anyway.
