1/ Hey @twitter,
Screenshots of tweets should be a TOS violation.
Doing so bypasses user-specified content preferences in a way that's almost always unhealthy for the ecosystem.

I'm not sure it isn't signal boosting though -- I think it's just less measurable by engagement stats. Seeing Kirk et al. captures in my feed inflates their visibility for me; takes more of my attention; and, makes subsequent interactions in that arena more salient.

But I think it works out the same way. Like, I'll follow and like someone who repeatedly dunks on some particular strain of stupid for schadenfreude. And then they'll keep producing more of it. And that works the other way too. Trolls get more followers for the troll

As to the latter, I don't think retweet/quote is less salient, more like as salient. But I can block them completely with twitters content management for particular offenders.
