I’m not leaving Twitter. This account is my first step towards accruing 44 billion dollars to purchase all the cooking blogs so I can delete the pages and pages of stories before they get to the damned recipe. No one cares if your husband likes this chili
On a serious note, Twitter is how a lot of marginalized people communicate their struggle when they have no other outlets, and while I don’t use it for any important reasons, I like to stand by people that do.
(This is also why I didn’t take part in Rose McGowan’s Twitter blackout about Weinstein a few years ago: she had good intentions, but this site has been a great way for some victims of assault and sexual crimes to come out of the woodwork!)
Also things like Arab Spring and the invasion of Ukraine are other examples where this stupid website became an important tool for dispersing up-to-date information.
So does it suck that some butt-hurt silver-spoon Fauntleroy is in charge now, flying a false flag of “free speech” (which doesn’t even apply here on a private website)? Yes. But I’m still gonna stick around and be stupid, in support of the people who are not stupid.

They reason for those stories is for SEO. Gotta fill up the page with keywords and information to make your recipe the first one. They should all include a “jump to” button but they don’t and that’s the real crime

yeah, it's a silly system, and that's why we need a weird single dad to accrue a massive fortune and waste it on something that annoys him personally
