Comedian Louis C.K. Plainly Explains to Opie Radio Why He Got Rid of His Twitter Account

“It is everybody’s worst side”

On a recent episode of the Opie Radio show on SiriusXM, comedian Louis C.K. explained to host Opie Hughes, in very plain and logical terms why he no longer feels the need to communicate via Twitter.

Four and a half million people saw it.. Some of worst things I ever said that’s been heard and seen by the most people. It’s like the worst possible scenario. …Reading it depressed me and writing it depressed me. I hated it, it’s everybody’s worst side. …It’s too instant, too fast. I don’t think the speed helps dialogue.
