People are still using twitter? Why?
@BananaTrifleViolin stockholm syndrome lol
People like to use things that are used by many people. Not that surprising.
genuine question: do people use twitter to catch up with folks?
As much as I hate it, I still occasionally use fb to message old friends, and instagram to keep up with friends. twitter... used to be for following celebrities but i've gone off that since (and if i wanted to, i can do that on insta).
I guess it is more following of people of certain topics that talk about them in twitter. Like someone follows few people abour their hobby, some politicians maybe, and people of other interests they have. I haven't really gotten the idea that people use it to talk to friends per say, or follow them, but for sure people do that as well but maybe it is not the main point.
Though I could be spewing shit because I don't use it. Just the vibe I've been getting over the years.
Political fights and following politicians I guess
They like the Nazis. No joke.
It's the best way to follow breaking sports news.
