You're right. "The whole thing ..." was more so directed at "text typing" and a generalization of Twitter. "For the most part..." would have been more appropriate (regarding Twitter).

I used to be a big fan of Twitter but I've admittedly soured on it as time has gone on. I still think it's a valuable service overall but the company itself is making some weird changes and I'm just kind of starting to prefer other social media outlets.
I still use it but not nearly as much as I used to, haha. It's kind of like a big chatroom, which is nice sometimes, but it also means it's all about the community and who you follow (and who follows you).
