From Sarah Jeong’s article:
”As Twitter degrades, I think back on my decade-plus on this garbage fire of a platform. It’s pretty well-known that Twitter’s influence on society is overstated by journalists — it’s a big deal for people in the media, but the general population of normal-brained people aren’t really all that into it.”
…After all this time, I wonder if…the last decade of protest — firmly ensconced within the height of Twitter’s influence — has been all smoke and little fire, massive gatherings with scarcely any policy impact to show for it. Did the sticky virality of social media end up undermining social change?”
