There is a VERY GOOD reason to do this, and this is because they are still very powerful and prevalent.

Closing your eyes and ears and going NAAH NAAH NAAH I'M GOING TO PRETEND IT DOESNT EXIST is a wildly stupid way to approach things like twitter when they are still so influential.

I appreciate experimenting with "boycotting," but when the dust settles and the thing is still very much there, you have to engage with that fact.
