    Fun Fact: I've been trying to get that damned blue check mark for ages. I have someone who represents me talking to Twitter and Twitter flat out told them that I meet the requirements to be verified, but because they're currently short staffed, they aren't verifying people unless it's "urgent'"
    What even is an "Urgent Twitter Verification"? Are they really trying to tell me that it's not just a button they click? They said I meet the requirements so they must have checked me, right?

    I think the fact that Twitter doesn't even have an edit button, a feature that's on pretty much every platform imaginable, is very indicative of the site's nature. It's a website that does not forgive and does not forget. Whether it be an unsavory remark someone made a decade ago (that they probably don't even agree with anymore), or even just making a simple typo, it's very clear that Twitter is not a place for those who make mistakes.

      as someone with a twitter account (regretfully, might i add), i’ve come across people who tweet *_hundreds of times a day,_* mostly about toxic political shit. a lot of these people also had very clear political biases, either stated in their bios or in the statements they made (again, VERY frequently) in many of their own tweets.
      so yeah, there’s your answer. it’s for people who are unnaturally obsessed with politics, to an unhealthy degree.

    Twitter doesn't resemble that site anymore. Especially the last couple months, it's been quite a war. The good ol' potus isn't helping, and I'd argue has made things worse.
    Twitter is just bizarre overall though. I don't know why anyone uses it anymore. It doesn't do anything that literally any other social media doesn't let you do, and what it does do, it does worse. Although, Facebook's promotion system is absolute garbage.

    "Twitter is like if you took the UA-cam comments section and made that the whole website"
    I feel this is semi-true. A better quote would be, "Twitter is like if you took the toxic people of the UA-cam comments section and made that the whole website"
    I've had perfectly good conversations with people on UA-cam, but I wouldn't even fuck with Twitter. I just see it and all the toxicity just reminds me of what this website is like. The only non-toxic people you'll find are ones who are just on Twitter to support their favorite content creators/keep updated on their favorite content creators, the content creators, or the people in the comments of porn.
