Is the "How" more important because it's on top, or the least important because it's smaller? Or is it the first thing to talk about?
That means only "bad people" who don't care about integrity would do this.
I think reading Twitter is generally a terrible idea, unless you carefully select who you follow, but you risk staying in your bubble, and adventuring yourself outside of it is even worse.
But nowadays, with the state of politics, the spread of fake news and false narrative on social media... this is what we have.
"they could have read an entire book about most subjects covered and thereby learned about it with far more detail and far more impact than the daily doses they get dribbled out by the paper"
This is not what people do. This is applicable to 1% of the population.
Trump got elected and keeps supporters with dozens of 140-character messages everyday. There is no details, no analysis, lots of lies and inflammatory comments. But this is what works.
Whether you agree with him or not, this is the winning method to gain influence. This is also because escaping news on social media and TV is harder and harder, and the more susceptible to get trapped are not the one that would make the better choices for everyone.
So you need to use the same tactics to fight him or support him or support something in general. Or you virtually don't exist.
And the opinion and vote of the people is more important than we realized just ten years ago when he wrote that. Would Swarz stay silent and disconnected in the Trump era?
Where do you find the most Medium users? Medium.
So yes, it's actually fixed, but now you know that someone you don't know broke into your house without permission nor supervision and you don't know what he's done/seen/stolen in your house.
In the last years, we've seen "entertainment" pages getting sold by the original founders to companies interested in making a profit from it, by publishing links to their own products, or articles bloated with ads.
But now they're used to political purposes to influence people who didn't follow the pages for this reason. What's worse is they abuse the trust put in the original page to spread misinformation and fake news.
And when you target (web) applications, a developer might even have more experience with the UX as a user and designer!
Each case depends on the qualities of the people involved.
People only notice when it is there.

I disagree totally with that point. The "superstar CEO" Zuckerberg is now ridiculed, hated, and negatively "meme-ed". He is now the face of censorship (for some) and a laissezfaire strategy threatening democracies (for others).
Even the previous paragraph stated: "Bill Gates had become a media caricature during Microsoft Corp.’s three-year antitrust lawsuit".
Page staying in the dark only generated this one article, not a real national scandal. 99% of people don't know him and won't know him after that no-show. Google's reputation is untouched.
Only loss is for the Senators not getting the spotlight.
The actual alcoholics drink alone. (And that's essentially the problem.)
Some would say it's sad that we can't just gather around a table just to talk. But the advantage of the drink (not necessarily alcoholic), is you have to be there and not on the phone.
In any way, those are two totally different things you can't compare
- Comparing cost of education between countries not adapted to overall cost of living
- Importance of college sports in the US vs youth sports in club academies in Europe
- Research conducted inside the university in the US vs external or independent institutes in other countries like France
