Not everyone.

This is a different sort of dumpster fire than was explained to you in 2009. This is a whole-scale subversion of the entire platform.

The blow-by-blow from Tech Crunch:
techcrunch.com/2020/07/15/twitter-accounts-hacked-crypto-scam/

This wasn't a crypto scam worth $100,000; it was a shot across the bows. What it exposed is far worse than the original compromise:
www.zerohedge.com/markets/twitter-hiding-screenshot-its-trending-and-search-blacklist-tools

There was a time when I thought if I was to sign up for any social media it would be Twitter because it seemed the least objectionable. Now it's starting to look like it's Facebook.

I guess I'll stick to the aggregators. Nowadays instead of Fark and Slashdot, it's Donald.win, Rantingly, Knews, News Ammo... I still don't know why Youtube is social media since you can lurk there.

edit:
I can't wrap my pea-brain around Music Theory. But we have readers in Brazil. They might find this interesting: The Girl From Ipanema is a far weirder song than you thought
