> So your assertion that "Twitter was _never_ a net positive for anyone" is not only false but an absurdly biased and frankly wrong view on how the world accesses information.
I presume the grandparent was being rhetorical and trying to say Twitter was always a net negative for society as a whole.
Even today, its a net positive for plenty of people (myself included).
Indeed. It was always a drama tool for me. Short and clickbaity.
That occasional good information also succesful spread, doesn't mean that information would not have also flowed with different communication tools and maybe then even in a better way.
