How Politics/Politicians RUINED Twitter🐦

Lately I've Been Watching #CNN's
Docuseries: "Twitter; #BreakingtheBird🐦"

But THAT Was Just the Beginning...
Once #Political Figures and #Celebrities
Were ALLOWED to #Join, It Opened-Up
A TREMENDOUS Can of #Worms, Which
Enabled MANY Corperations to ALSO
Partake... Just Like They Did with
OTHER #SocialMedia Platforms Prior:
#Friendster, Hi5, #Yahoo-Avatars/Yahoo-Messenger, #MySpace, #Facebook, etc!

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Myspace
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Facebook

ALL of THESE Sites (MOSTLY Myspace) Gave
Users #TooMuch Control Over Their #Pages
Appearances, Users Could Personalize Profiles
with #HTML and #CSS Code, Making Profiles Unique.
This Level of #Customization Resonated with
Users, Particularly #Teens and #YoungAdults,
Who Valued #SelfExpression. Additionally,
MySpace’s #Integration with Music; Allowing #Artists
to Share Their Work Directly with #Fans, Creating A Strong #Community Around Music and Culture. #Creative THEN Placed An Overwhelming Number of Advertisements on the Platform, #NewsCorps Execs THEN Altered and Removed #UserContent, which Significantly Hampered Users Unique Experience. Users Found the Site Cluttered and Slow. Four-Months After Myspace's Relaunch, The Userbase Fell from 38% to 38-Million, Driving Users to Seek Aternatives
We Have Been and Are Currently Going-Through
This VERY SAME "Progress" Ever Since
#BarakObama Was Re-Elected and It Has Only
Gotten WORSE with Re-Election of 2015
Candidate; #DonaldJTrump and Twitter's
CURRENT CEO (Donald's RightHand: #ElonMusk)
