Thank you for the concise summary of GP's post. I think tthe post you're responding to is trying to reframe the point with a question though: are you sure it's actually bad for society? maybe this is how our society communicates and twitter was just an expression of that.

In other worse, it's less that twitter influenced society, and more that society was waiting for the medium to communicate the way it wants.

> These choices worked out well for Twitter

You could say that, since it appears Twitter is now the primary platform for broadcasting outside of film/tv.

But is Twitter even making money yet? How sad and dumb would it be that Twitter had to shut down in a couple years?
