    What’s your point? It’s not like he’s bashing twitter or anything.

      The fuck do you think “I’m the only one dumb enough to be on Twitter” means? That Twitter is a great platform?

        More of a ‘I’m the only one dumb enough to make public what my social media accounts are and interact with the fanbase’

          That’s a completely different sentence, but I guess words don’t need to have any actual meanings and we all just need to interpret things randomly.

            Or you could interpret it in context of the rest of the article, but that’d require you to actually read it

                    That might be what the disagreement here is. The sentence is very ambiguous because its not literal, though it can be read literally as you did. The poster is saying “I’m the dumb one for being the only one working in valve who is reachable by the public directly through social media.” Your interpretation isn’t wrong, but without the wider context of shorthand speech patterns you get from English as a first language, it can be difficult to figure out the implied message. English has a funny habit of saying one thing, but meaning another thing.
