It's ironic to see so many people on Twitter hate on Twitter. It has its problems, but it's still the best place to build a network and learn from smart folks (at least in tech) if used well.
Twitter has become a very popular platform for people to voice their opinions, and for celebrities to connect with their fans. However, it has also become a breeding ground for rumors, gossip, and sometimes even bullying. If you're not careful, you can easily get sucked into a negative spiral of negativity and drama.
The transformation they've been going through over the last year has been super exciting, and usually tons of fun to watch. Between new features like audio tweets, newsletters, and Twitter Blue, they're rapidly evolving the platform in ways that make it more engaging, useful and personalized. Twitter has faced challenges over the years, but their recent changes show a company listening to user feedback and working hard to improve the experience. There's a focus on wellbeing, human curation and optionality that allows people to engage with Twitter on their own terms.
Even though other apps are used more frequently, Twitter is used most consistently. It is a valuable #tool for staying informed about current events, connecting with people, & #learning new things.
