"I'm quite excited about the match I'm going to have later, so here's a tweet to promote it."

Twitter is a swamp that reached a nadir in 2021. The relentless bad faith toxicity and abuse generated quote tweet dunks, which fostered yet more bad faith toxicity. The platform is a never-ending game of tennis that nobody wins.
Who really gives a sh*t about what somebody you don't know pretends to think to feel better about their unfulfilling lives? These people would never say this sort of thing in real life, but isn't it time the opposite becomes true? You wouldn't punch down to troubled individuals in real life. What difference does a keyboard make?
Wrestlers don't just have to contend with being told that the company they work for is sh*t. The abuse gets personal. They get threatened. They see horrendous stuff in every single reply. Cody has left Twitter. The Young Bucks have a new bio gimmick that circumvents replies. Everybody on the platform is miserable, but they stay on it because they fear they'll miss out.
It gets worse every day, and at some point next year, countless names will leave it en masse.
