I'd like to point out that one facet missing in this conversation is the distinction between "most people" and "most people on Twitter." I agree most people *on Twitter* area hungry for good-to-bad narratives. I think that's because most people *on Twitter* are more inclined to be cynical already, and more bad-to-good stories justify their cynicism. They/we laugh or cringe at good-to-bad, saccharine stories. That's what Facebook is for, isn't it.

Stuff like this is why I'm happy to be off Twitter. Largest collection of people who need therapy and counseling, because there's no way this is how healthy people should be functioning.

Great write-up.
