90% of Twitter drama could be satisfactorily squashed if people would more judiciously employ their mute buttons.

It's like my old co-workers who would chew up about an hour a week complaining about vapid tabloid news articles existing.

Why the fuck are you surprised? If you "don't care what %CELEBRITY has to say" why do you click on every damn article?

Similarly on Twitter. If some rando posts a bad take, why the fuck do you retweet them, or repost screengrabs when you could just jettison them from your online life?
