What I thought was going to happen when I moved over here would be professional, calm conversations on this platform, while the funny weird stuff would stay on Twitter with its vitality-accelerating algorithm.

Instead it has been the opposite: I’ve had no trouble curating a timeline of funny bots and eccentric people, but the economists seem to have mostly gone back to Twitter.

This pattern strongly challenges my prior about who has inelastic demand for online attention.
