Why I hate twitter

Honestly, twitter sucks. It is just a huge advertisement for things no one cares about, but I'm pretty sure most of us are used to seeing ads. So what part do I hate if its not the ads? I hate the stupid pages that so many people find inspiration in or label it as their favorite page. Recently a new page has surfaced called 30 second fights where all they post are people beating each other up. Many of these fights are accruing at school between both boys and girls. This account has 760.6k followers who are constantly seeing fights on their timeline. Research shows that the number of fights accruing across America in high schools a day are on a steady incline. With these new accounts the idea of fighting to become "twitter famous" has sparked many students to pick fights at school just to been seen for 30 seconds on twitter. There is no consideration of the consequences, because  being on the twitter page triumphs any ethical decisions making. Also because many people see violence everywhere from the big screen to the little screen in our hands so we have become more  susceptible to violence.

Not only are there fighting pages but also very sexual and very degrading to women accounts. Twitter is filled with very unethical pages that have a mass number of followers. Teens see these pages and think they can do the same thing. The number of rapes committed by a teen age boy has increased, because they are constantly seeing these pages treat women horrible and sex constantly that they believe they can do it to. On these types of pages are creating a world where people are more focused on those 30 seconds of fame and believe they can do whatever the want.
