The whole thing (the whole twittersphere in fact) is drenched in a sad irony to be honest. People feel emboldened by having a platform, their use of that platform becomes increasingly aggressive and extreme, most people get bored with it and abandon the platform which becomes increasingly niche and circular, THAT encourages ever-more-extreme behaviour, which put off yet more people in a downwards spiral. The end result is - in my opinion inevitably - going to be the platform being abandonned or at the very least, completely losing mainstream appeal. With no replacement.
It's already happening to be honest. And sadly it means that the genuine, non-aggressive people who just wanted to be seen and heard will find their platform going right along with it.
