Thread on how Twitter amplifies perceptions of outrage

Sigh. Okay, once again: The reason the end of the federal net neutrality rule didn't significantly impact the internet is California shortly after enacted its own net neutrality rule, and carriers decided it was cheaper to stay net neutral than create a patchwork for every state. https://t.co/NLV5rEJKt0— Matthew Chapman (@fawfulfan) June 11, 2023

Between the Iheartradio fake podcast listeners story, Facebook getting publications to pivot to video with fake data, and now this story about WB HBO max cooking the books… kinda feels like our entire attention economy is built like a ponzi scheme and all this shit is made up— Jacqueline (DJ Horse Jeans) (@Horse_Jeans) September 28, 2022

i’m in a film studies class this semester on documentaries related to genocides and with every reading we read i feel like i’m getting closer to being able to fully articulate the thoughts i’ve been having about the Internet’s role at this current moment, and how it diffuses— yoona (@TabiOrNotTabi) February 9, 2024

Feedback effects: Google initially relied on the (human-curated) link structure of the internet to derive "importance" signals from the internet graph. As people started using Google instead of links, Google accidentally destroyed the fabric that provided the value.— Halvar Flake (@halvarflake) December 5, 2022

“A recent small medical issue has highlighted how much someone needs to disrupt Google Search. Google is no longer producing high quality search results in a significant number of important categories.”

Apps should not trap your files, YOU should have a data pool and then choose which front end (OS, app, website) you want to use to display, edit or share it! pic.twitter.com/5nSPxoQgzr— Paul Rony (@Paul_Rony) November 7, 2022

Twitter is an anti-compassion machine that stokes our tendency to dehumanize and even hate people we don't know personally. Four little exercises I use to combat that and crank up the compassion in my mind:— Tim Urban (@waitbutwhy) November 4, 2022

Anyway, my tuppence worth on Musk and Twitter. He’s in for a rocky ride, and the question for me is whether his ego is going to make him destroy Twitter. Right now, what’s pretty clear is that he doesn’t understand what makes Twitter work. 1/10— Prof Paul Bernal (@PaulbernalUK) November 1, 2022

The more the Internet exposes us to other points of view, the angrier we get that those other points of view exist. We are confronted with people we could have ignored, or never even heard. The opposite of the ‘filter bubble’ myth https://t.co/1Z5VRtH8Lc— Benedict Evans (@benedictevans) October 13, 2022
