Maybe 5: seeing jerks on Twitter is a bit like eating candy: hard to resist, easy to do all the time, and makes you feel terrible.
An interesting normative thing: collectively, we've decided eating candy is bad, or should at least be done very minimally. But collective norms still seem to be that following jerks on Twitter is the right thing to do. (I mean effective norms, not quite literal norms, IYGMD)
There does seem to be a need for a "Stop following jerks, stop responding to jerks" counter movement. "Don't like Twitter? Complain about it? Then stop following jerks & low signal accounts, & stop responding to them."
The problem I find with the jerks is there’s a near-infinite supply of them. I don’t follow any, and mute aggressively, but every Nth reply thread, there they are.
Variant on 5: seeing jerks is a way to make you feel good about yourself and rise up in righteous outrage. The candy analogy :)
