I remember when Twitter first went live or whatever and I was like “who the fuck would use this? Who is this for?” And promptly forgot about it totally for like 10 years.

Basically, I’m an OG hater and I can’t stop hating… ever. Other good early hating calls made by me: facebook and league of legends. I also suffer from early things that become incredibly popular like those three.
