Exactly; Twitter and all the rest of the commercial social media sites trap a bunch of people who are all trying to get money out of each other, convinced that if they aren't there and part of the ongoing spectacle, they're missing out on business. Everyone else is there just to be a mark. Money pulls the strings and the puppets lurch about.

Whatever professional interests one has in it, I don't think there are many valid human reasons.
