There’s A Rumor That Twitter Is Getting Shut Down And Idiots Went Ham Doing The Last Thing That Would Save It: Tweeting

by Last Updated

Just to get it out of the way quickly, no. Twitter is not getting shut down in early 2017 because of cyber bullying, no matter how much I may beg and plead to every major/minor deity I can find on Wikipedia. That’s not to say Twitter doesn’t suck – it totally sucks. Twitter is the most useless collection of words, videos and photos ever amassed on the Internet. The majority of their users are fake. No one wakes up and says, “You know what I need to do today? Tweet stuff.”

Would you care if Twitter got shut down? Probably not. You’ve got better things to do with your spare time, right? Yet here we have a collection of people who seem to actually give a shit that the social networking platform may cease to one day exist:

In my opinion it’s only a matter of time until the site does crash and burn, but it appears that time is still not here. The Independent reports that representatives of the site have assured them that there is no truth whatsoever to the rumors, and that people will be able to continue spewing whatever unintelligible garbage pops into their head with reckless abandon, just like they do now:
