#Twitter broke our monkey brain.
We feel the moral obligation to get involved when we see somebody lying or just being terrible.
But twitter doesn't care what type of engagement it is! No feedback is negative! Hate bait is the easiest way to go viral. Conservative grift, crazy discourse, outrageous takes, just simple lies.
Anything to make you click that "reply" button.
Our desire for justice just feeds the machine.

It's not a new phenomenon of course. But twitter perfected the formula: no downvotes or any sort of community moderation, mysterious algorithm that promotes #engagement and short form that's perfect for snark quips and hate baits
