Twitter's Trending Topics algorithm identifies topics that are immediately popular, rather than topics that have been popular for a while or on a daily basis, to help people discover the "most breaking" news stories from across the world. We think that trending topics which capture the hottest emerging trends and topics of discussion on Twitter are the most interesting.

When someone or something only gets success or recognition on twitter but outside of the app, the hype is not even closely matched. Can be synonymous with fraudulence in terms of truthful relevancy.

Typically a bunch on teenagers trying to get noticed by their favorites such as one direction. But in 2020 stan twitter seem to be the only people on twitter standing up for BLM and starting the revolution. They are fantasizing over ANON which is the biggest hacker group known, yet they are giving them pet names.

Racism. Occasionally pseudoscience and even history, but only in *attempts* to justify or validate said racism... thats mostly it. ‘Woke’ could be thrown in there but its a given.
Guy 1: what is Black Twitter?
Guy 2: just open racism towards anyone who isnt black, mostly white but sometimes even other minorities.
Guy 1: yeah that’s what I thought.
