Link is to a very funny video (and catchy song) about Twitter. Something caught my eye from the accompanying press release:

> "While Facebook, for example has around 3 billion monthly active users, and YouTube has around 2.5 billion, Twitter has just 350 million. This may still sound like a lot of people. However, another quirk of Twitter, again rarely commented on, is that just 10% of its users produce 80% per cent of its content. That means that Twitter - rather than being a representative chunk of the population or the “public square” some claim it to be - is really something closer to a niche activity."

Is this a fair analysis, or are there further nuances here based on the nature of the different platforms? Does Twitter have a disproportionate heft? That is, leaving aside the whole Musk thing... but just on that, watch the video for a good laugh :-)
