    Starbucks provides the service of coffee, Streaming services provide the service of shows to watch, nobody in their life spends $50/day on weed but if they did they're still getting something for their money. I'm not saying any of these things are great but at least it is an exchange of money for SOMETHING.

    Twitter will put a tiny .jpg next to your name on the free website that provides a service literally hundreds of thousands of websites will provide for free, what a service.

      Where else are you going to get cutting edge, as it's happening, reactionary hot takes about why lynching the homeless might be a good thing if you just thought about it for a minute.

        There is something magical about Twitter and Facebook, those freaks so often just type whatever crazy thing they are thinking and send it out to the rest of the world. That was so rare with old message boards, for example. People would type long posts, then read and edit them multiple times before posting. And they would edit out the crazy shit.

          Again, old forums and boards were actual communities, which were community moderated, so you naturally tended to act like a real human being or eventually get booted.
