22% of Americans use Twitter, 10% of them make 80% of tweets and message

Twitter is still the best app, everything that goes viral comes from Twitter

Before social media. The power to sway public opinion and cause, heighten, or reduce controversy was in FEWER hands.

A generation ago there were 4 major TV networks, handful of cable channels(under the same parent company), one or two major newspapers in big cities.

Editors and managers at those outlets strongly dictated what people knew and when they knew it. Probably less than 700 people at most.

big facts. more people have the power to dictate public opinion. the question is: are they using the platforms to their maximum potential?

on one hand, 20 years ago black people got shot and any injustice we cried out about wasn't believed because it wasnt in the mainstream and twitter is an equalizer

on the other hand, nicki minaj set off a protest because people believe her cousins friends nuts exploded

It’s not for in-depth socializing and discussions, when you wanna find out why someone name is in the news you don’t go to tik tok you go to Twitter, when you wanna see a public figure address something you go straight to their Twitter, look at the Nikki Minaj rant just a couple of days ago, look at the shaderoom 80% of their content is from Twitter

When I wanted to get info on hurricane Ida, you think I went on Tik Tok for that?

America ~330 million
22% - 73 million
10% of 73 million = 7.3 million people

Cancellations, hoe bable, summer jam screens, fukkery, etc

All of that is done by only 7.3 million humans in america.

Because ur stat is including boomers and people born before 1980

Its really interesting how people ignore how the white elite cancelled people before social media. They still have the real cancel power. Still waiting on a clear example of someone's career being completely destroyed by cancel culture alone, and not their dumbass actions.

As a nikka that just got back on Twitter, those mentally ill folk that we see go viral are a loud minority. I don't see too much unless it goes viral and I block anything that fukks with my spirit on sight. Social media is what you make of it.
