 Twitter is not even that successful. Normal people don’t want to talk to strangers they don’t know unless there is something they share.

Twitter never offered this. 

People who engage on open public sites like Twitter are 98% trying to make money in some way. 

Now because Jack said communities… it’s profound 🤣 go scroll my notes I’ve been saying this for months. 😅

 It’s true. You can go to TikTok and find the most retarded shit from complete randos with a billion followers. Who’s watching this stuff? 
 The kids mostly, 13-19 yo is my guess. 
 But with all seriousness. The ratio for people who make videos and people who watch them is probably 5%-95%. 

It’s just a place for people who wish they can go viral. And the 95% who make it happen. 🤣
