they recently revealed that only ~10% of users average 3 tweets a week so really they should be giving that message any time you make a second tweet in a day
I think a site where everyone posted like me would be a fucking nightmare. way too many posts and replies. not enough long posts or art posts or high-effort posts
killers
the kinds of people who get all their kicks through quote tweet dunks and arguments. to the killer, nothing tastes sweeter than owning someone and watching them shrink and transform into a corn cob.
achievers
the posters who are constantly trying to do numbers. can be further subdivided into the goofers and the thinkers. goofers always have a killer joke about any new current event, they stay on top of the zeitgeist and sum it up as wittily as possible in 240 characters. thinkers might be writing long threads or high effort posts, or trying to have incisive serious takes in a shareable format.
EDIT: @porglezomp asked where writers and artists and other creative types fit into this schema. this is a good question! i think they are achievers. richard bartle expanded his taxonomy of player types with an additional axis, implicit/explicit, and i think artists are explicit achievers, or "planners," as bartle calls them, while the people i described originally in this post are implicit achievers, or "opportunists." the opportunists will do whatever the site they're on rewards with big numbers. the planners set their own goals (the completion of creative works) and achieve them.socializers
the reply guys. they rarely make too many posts of their own, but they often chime in on their friends posts. when they do post it's about normie shit like what they had for dinner or a movie they went and saw or that they went to the beach today. they're only on twitter to see what their pals are up to and they don't care about discourse.
explorers
the css criminals. those constantly pushing the bounds of what can be done on the site. when a new feature gets released, they're the first to test its limits. they may do numbers off the back of the jokes they make by exploring, but they're in it for the love of the game.
