'''{{w|Twitter}}''' (renamed '''𝕏''' after {{w|Elon Musk}}'s acquisition of the platform, but largely called by its original name by most users) is a popular social networking and microblogging service where people can post messages that are up to 280 (originally 140) characters in length, or more if you pay a monthly subscription for the platform (which Chris began doing in October 2023). While it has its uses and has managed to last despite many criticisms, it is sometimes described as a pointless fad, and if even ''Chris'' called it a fad at one point, perhaps there is something to this claim.  However, from 2016 onward, Chris became much more active on Twitter, to the point where it [[2017 tweets|became his primary means of communicating with]] [[Trolls|the public]]. He shifted his online presence away from his [[YouTube]] channel and his [[Facebook]] page and began using the blogging platform to communicate ideas through multi-part Twitter threads and image uploads.

Whenever he goes off on a long text wall broken up between dozens of tweets, he ends most of them with a "..." when he has to finish a sentence between tweets, making his tweets difficult to follow.
