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.

We all know them — the people who tweet ~everything~ so they can be first. the people who copy quote AP alerts. Why not just unfollow?

And when you do unfollow, you're left with a vibrant community of people talking about facts and maybe books sometimes.

for real though there is no need to ever tweet an AP alert. Everyone does it. I do it too sometimes. But it adds nothing and informs no one.
