Twitter

[WholesomeOgre]

Twitter can make for interesting engagement, but it has a problematic ceiling. I use it to network a bit, make announcements, and engage in some semblance of community, but every few days you'll see some lunacy surface in the social media discourse that will frighten you away for a few days. I'm also dully fascinated by folks who use Twitter to conduct business to any meaningful degree. It's not a bad channel for establishing contact, but it feels like a terribly chancy venue for anything like commerce.

Ditto ditto. Agree with all Larb says.

I don't think I'd waste my time now if I were new to Twitter as, unless you pay the monthly fee, you may not gain much traction. Blue checks are given priority regardless of the nonsense some of them spout.

There are a few Twitter alternatives knocking around, though none of them look like becoming the clear winner (yet) with mass adoption. It might be better to focus your energy on a more art/design focused site like Art Station or Behance or Instagram.
