Jeff KosseffI began regularly tweeting in 2019, first just to promote my books. This month I decided to stop tweeting not for any political reason or to make a statement, but because the product had degraded. My feed was filled with a bunch of nonsense that wasn’t fun to wade through. As a consumer (and content creator), I decided to go elsewhere. And that is exactly how it should be: platforms should be free to decide how to moderate, and consumers should be free to decide whether to go elsewhere.
One person suggested that I left Twitter because I don’t value free speech. That is not the case. Twitter can decide what speech to distribute. And I can decide whether I want to read that speech.
Ari Cohn@jkosseff the theater was too on fire for you, huh Jeff
@AriCohn It’s a theater that plays Plan B from Outer Space on a continuous loop, and if you head for the exit, people yell that you’re a snowflake.
