How Twitter Gamifies Conversations and Flattens Communication

Twitter gamifies conversations by flattening communication and rewarding interactions with the same value, regardless of the depth or significance of the content. The platform's interaction mechanics, such as likes, retweets, and comments, do not differentiate between life-changing insights and casual humor. This flattening of communication eliminates nuance and fails to reward more profound contributions. As a result, Twitter incentivizes engagement and scoring points rather than promoting meaningful dialogue or policy change. The gamification of Twitter's conversation dynamics has a significant impact on conversations, political rhetoric, and the way people think. It highlights the need to carefully consider the incentives and rewards in platforms that facilitate discourse and interaction.
