I signed up for my first Twitter account this morning and quickly concluded it is a completely stupid and worthless piece of shit. How on Earth did this become a thing? How is it being sold to celebs and politicians that a "Twitter presence" is essential for their careers? The only function this thing serves as far as I can tell is you might get a chance to say something horrible to a public figure or at least their assistant or intern or whatever.Completely stupid and overrun with bot accounts and trolls who are not funny. And how was this arbitrary 140 character limit arrived at? I completely don't get it.
