πŸ“– You should delete twitter right now, claims Jaron Lanier in a book about quitting social media. Why?

πŸ‘Ώ You become an asshole because Twitter encourages power struggles.

On Twitter, you fight for prestige, for like counts, for follower counts, and for replies and retweets.

Twitter currency is attention and the best ways to draw attention are snarky ways.

πŸ™ˆ Using Twitter makes your worldview narrow.

It sounds counter-intuitive.

Lanier claims that because feeds are personalized you never know to what information are other people exposed to.

It makes it harder to understand other people's motifs & reasoning.
