[Charles Arthur](https://theoverspill.blog/?ref=onemanandhisblog.com):

> Before the retweet was a function, one had to manually copy the content of a tweet and put “RT” or “MT” (modified tweet) in front of it. This friction meant something had to be really worthwhile to achieve any velocity.   
> Increasingly it looks as though adding friction (back in) is the way to make social networks more reasonable.
