Can someone tell me why Twitter is still a thing when it seems to be the cause of so much human misery?

Or even just the spoken word that has caused infinitely more misery in its history.

While I am told that all parties have paid online trolls, the kijiji ad smacks of such amateur hour I wonder if it was a plant?

The PC/WR machines are too smart to make such an open request - as are the NDP.

But that ad sure would be effective at damaging the opposing brand.

Yah, it seems far too convenient to be real IMO. But I am a skeptic at heart.

It's very possible it was a plant; it's been pretty effective at getting people to take notice of the anti-Druh campaign that launched on Twitter yesterday.

Maybe collectively... but I'm relatively certain that some individual components of said machines are dumb enough to do that.

Given that shortly after the posting of the ad the online smear campaign commenced I think it's pretty clear that it's real... stupid... but real.
