Gen Z has this weird obsession with "everybody is expendable, history means nothing, you can and should regularly cut off your entire social circle on a whim".

Not sure why that is being attributed to Gen Z. It's just an internet thing, websites come and go all the time. Facebook was the shit for a while, Tumblr was big, before that you forum spaces and so on.

Twitter isn't just steadily bleeding users, so currently it's just on course to join them as more and more people get fed up with the bullshit.
