This is like the opposite of a canary this is like Coal Lungs Pete finally coughing and keeling over.
Who is that dude and why do people think his actions are meaningful?
There’s a Wikipedia page about dril which is enlightening.
He is basically a product of Twitter that achieved notoriety through a form of humor tailored for the platform.
Dril is one of the most influential meme accounts on twitter, “generally a recognizable type: a self-important buffoon who’s often raging out (show yourself, coward), or other times preening (buddy, they won’t even let me), over some bit of nonsense that we’re all meant to realize is absurdly unimportant.” Wikipedia
The character (ostensibly not the actual person behind the account) is exactly the archetype of a user who would stay on current twitter.
