Most journalists are hopelessly addicted to Twitter. Microblogging is already designed to be addictive, but journalists' entire careers hinge on how much engagement they get, so those little engagement-rewards hit hard. They're going to keep writing about the platform until they're forced to quit it because it's the main thing that they use to interact with the world. Tto them, every twitter change is fucking earth shattering.

It's really crazy how much the people who inform the rest of us about the world have had their own reality warped by the platform.
