Nobody likes Twitter. Not even the people who use Twitter like Twitter. Once known as a primary space for sharing news and casually interesting events, it has since devolved into a hotspot for doom-scrolling, witch-hunting, and other sorts of depravities one can only find in the crustiest crevices of the internet—only this time, it’s mainstream!
