Suppression of links on Twitter and replacement with decontextualized videos and rambling, unedited "takes" seems very calibrated to make its users gradually dumber. The entire benefit of Twitter was as a news aggregation service that acted as a portal to find comprehensive knowledge and information. Its probably lowering the collective IQ at this point.

Never was a huge fan of twitter but now it’s absolutely unbearable. The only reason i’d open it is if someone posts a link to a twitter post here and  every time i make the mistake to venture into the comments it makes me nauseous. So very thankful for having farcaster now.
