Why the fuck do people still use Twitter? Why would you pay to use social media? You're already the product, and now you're going to pay to be the fucking product? Are you stupid?

Multiple reasons, but I'd be lying if I claimed it's not partly out of spite for all the people who get hilariously angry about it. I'm also subscribed to SuperGrok.

Imagine getting angry because other people do things you don't like, even though it doesn't affect you in any way whatsoever. Stop hitting yourself.
