Then, here is the biggie: Just like Facebook, where there are so many phoney accounts that are fan pages instead of the real deal, Twitter has a bunch of people pretending to be celebrities. It is annoying. If I'm taking time to follow a celebrity at least it would be nice to know it really is that person. Instead, you can't trust anything on Facebook, Twitter, or the web at large because of all the wanna-be posers.
Now, why I even care, I don't know. For the last 20 plus year, I haven't even followed celebrities (well, ok, I do like Norman Reedus) until I started listening to One Direction. Now I'm a total groupie. I wasn't even this bad when I was following the Badlees. Of course, that was before the internet and social media. In fact, I used to think it was weird how so many people my age are obsessed with celebrities and here I am, acting like a 16 year old.
But facts are facts--people shouldn't be allowed to impersonate someone without being upfront with the fact that they are imposters. Posing as someone else and trying to convince others that you are that person is morally wrong and should be legally wrong, as well.
Maybe, I'll genuinely learn to like Twitter as I get used to it. But, thus far, I'm very disappointed. :(
