Yet another reason why Twitter is the shittiest platform in the history of the internet.

So far. I believe things are just getting started.

This may not be a bad thing. Suppose you were trying to stalk Ashley James, and all you could find is some generic porn.

There’s always a bright side.

There’s no greater concentration of hapless developers and feckless managers in one place in the industry (including the video games segment, to put it in perspective). It’s a testament to the power of the money invested in Twitter on the basis of an empty advertising model that the whole thing hasn’t yet gone up in flames like the Hindenburg.

Frankly, these women bring it on themselves by wearing such a low-cut, skimpy name like Andrea James. Any respectable women would put on something long and covering like Isabella Amaryllis Charlotte Anstruther-Gough-Calthorpe

Google image search used to behave this same way, for quite a while. You only needed to search for any female first name to get completely irrelevant top ranking topless photos.

Facebook, surely? Twitter gives horrible people a platform, but at least it confines them to the same interface as everyone else, instead of letting them dictate the news.

Twitter is designed, from the ground up, to be the shittiest platform possible. It encourages knee-jerk reactions and flame wars, because flame wars are the best way to get user “engagement.”

FB is Lawful Evil. Twitter is Chaotic Evil.
