I am so fucking sick of these kinds of suggestions. Every tech bro has a thing I put on top of a thing to fix the thing instead of doing the thing that which prompts a company to actually change it's behavior. This is every "solution." I'm sick of it. It's sidestepping.

Maybe stop using the broken thing altogether? We don’t want you to be this frustrated, Hulk.

Oh, okay. I'll just stop using twitter, which happens to be one of the two most critical content aggregation portals around. I don't mean to be flip. I mean to be confrontational with this stuff. How we think about it, and how we respond to these companies as if they are

unchangable dogmatic institutions that are going to take a robotic approach to dealing with customers, and the way that the tech industry responds as consumers, is a huge huge problem to me. For many many reasons.

Again, if you're polite suggestion is effectively "leave the larger internet and undermine what you're trying to do" all because twitter doesn't want to include one button, we have a larger problem.

My suggestion, or at least the intention, was "take care of yourself, man." I know we don't know each other but you're good and I want you to feel better. I'm sorry if I didn't express that. Re: how we deal with tech companies like Twitter, I don't disagree.

The two big content aggregation portals (really, curated mini-internets) have constructed platforms so wide that they don't really have to listen. I've tried to talk to a human at Twitter — it's nigh impossible.

Twitter and Facebook have created systems where the only effective manner of protest seems to be choosing not to participate. Their sheer size and dominance over the internet has damaged so much, especially the democratization of content and communication.

Time and time again, they have proven that they simply don't care that we're unhappy with the platform. We just keep using it anyway.

I keep using it, and I'm going to keep raising hell, and I'm never going to stop.
