Collective Chronopathy


Twitter reveals dynamics of stories surrounding Trump's presidency
Dec 2021, phys.org

Just here for the words:
  • Story turbulence - how quickly a new story fizzled-out as new stories popped
  • Narrative control - how often someone else retweets your tweet shows how much you control the story
  • Collective chronopathy - the rate at which a population’s stories for a subject seem to change over time
