General Discussion

I think DUers are more intelligent than to think "this interesting thing I saw on DU" (what someone said, a picture, a link to an article not on Twitter) "was surrounded by a box indicating it's hosted on Twitter - therefore I will go to Twitter and let them show me things". They look at the interesting thing. And to say "we must never show an interesting thing hosted on Twitter, even if it's only on Twitter, because we must have a total boycott of Twitter in any form for ideological reasons" is rather exhausting and pointless, because Twitter is kept going by any ads it can sell or subscriptions it can squeeze out of people, not "the eyes that view any given tweet".

You're asking people to do the equivalent of sticking their fingers in their ears and closing their eyes when a Coke ad comes on TV to avoid being contaminated with seeing their message. People can just ignore the ad that pays for the program they're watching.
