This article, “My Candid Conversations with Extremely Online Folks Who Suffer From Internet Broken Brain,” focuses on twitter, but I think has applicability to other online interactions.

A friend called me with an intervention of sorts last week. I was being an asshole online, he told me, hurting people’s feelings. I had lost the ability to distinguish between issues that truly deserve criticism on Twitter and things I should probably keep to myself. I was subtweeting the website that pays my bills, because I didn’t like the content they were posting. Even still, when I put it that way, it does sound kind of funny, but that’s the self-righteousness of Extremely Online Individuals steering the ship. What’s more important to me, being right online, or making a living?

*political hook: Trump Jr’s divorce is blamed partly on his tweeting.
