As others have pointed out, the gentrification of social networks echoes the gentrification of real life neighbourhoods too.

But it happens a lot quicker.

Notice that right now on Twitter, progressives are kicking up a fuss.

They don't want to leave.

This is their neighbourhood.

But they'll have to leave -- they don't own Twitter. They've always been renters. The only reason you were ever around was to make the place desirable.

And now you're being evicted!
