Anyway, I started out not wanting to harp on this specific piece.https://twitter.com/migold/status/872078281822097409 …

The bigger issue is 'media twitter' is not 'real world twitter' and media twitter continually forgets this. Your nightmare is not universal.

The roller coaster of viral factory journalism is entirely opt-in. You can follow higher quality accounts. You can disengage from the churn.

If it's a really big deal it'll work its way up to you, I promise! Then you wouldn't be so mad about the early phase of Leggings-Gate.

I simultaneously hate Twitter and love Twitter, but I accept the fact that I live on Twitter, and that is purely on me, not on 'the system'

And when I need a break, I take it. And when I come back, I say 'Well that was nice for me, what'd I miss?' not 'UGH TWITTER SUX.'

As long as you ARE living on twitter, take that for the gift that it is. Use your judgment to tell your readers what actually matters here.
