   A lot of people are missing the point of the twitter boycott. Ok heres how twitter works, they sell your data to advertisers for money, any interactions, good or bad are data they can sell.

   All that harassment women get? That makes them money. All the call outs, all the toxic shit, all the fights with bad people? Makes them money.

   They have a vested interest in creating engagement and nothing does that better than anger. They keep the bad people around because they know you will fight them. Thats data, they can sell that and then market to people just like you.

   While they market to the people who want to abuse you too.

   *not using twitter* is literally the only way to hurt them.

      @Laurelai I just wish people would stop using Twitter completely, and not boycott it for one day only.
