People don't really care about anything other than convenience. Twitter could be grinding up puppies live on camera and most people would just shrug and be like "well the good memes are here".

Personally I think that's downstream from how we're all too polite about shit like this. We just smile and change the topic instead of doing the intensely uncomfortable "You really shouldn't use twitter" conversation. But also we're all too... childish, I guess, because most people if someone says that will not respond with "You make a good point and I will change in accordance," but rather with "Fuck you for saying things that make me feel bad. You suck. I'm not listening to anything you say."

So I guess we're fucked because people are immature, fragile, little shits.

It isn't normal for human beings to modify their behavior because someone scolded them about it in a rational way, especially when popular approval is still on the side of doing what they are doing, but that doesn't mean there is nothing that moves the needle on people changing their behavior.
