You can really see this with Matt recently. 15 minutes of musing on the vlogs becomes a snide "fuck those people" on twitter the next day. The only theory I really have is that design wise a lot of twitter is just normie 4chan. Both sites are pretty miserable when you think about it being thousands of people scrolling through mountains of uninteresting garbage, finding one funny thing every few hundred post, smirking and then starting over.
I think a lot of the anger there is just the online equivalent of someone kicking one of those carnival machines for not spitting out a prize after the 8th attempt. Nobody is really trying to talk to each other, they just want the mass to do something interesting again so they kick it.
