almost everyone I know who got really into twitter had their lives transformed in ways they couldn’t have anticipated. We need an MTV Cribs of twitter where people just talk about how it improved their lives
Getting into Twitter and I like the engagement and learning, but concerned about Twitter addiction and corresponding mental health effects. Is that just part of territory?
It is, I think. Effective mechanisms to avoid unhealthy attachment are all external to the medium; the medium itself mostly does its best to exacerbate the effects you describe.
