If you’ve ever wondered why New York Magazine’s Jonathan Chait doesn’t respond to your tweets, wonder no more:
@brianbeutler Semi-related — I started setting my notifications to verified-only. Much better — less distracting, no garbage…
— Jonathan Chait (@jonathanchait) November 5, 2015
Got that? Step off, you unverified rubes!
I hope this doesn't become a trend. Bad news for us rabble. https://t.co/IkQwC0iFjh

He will no longer see your tweets, garbage people. CHECKMATE. https://t.co/im3GdVjXJC

Oh, darling, me too. I have my butler, Jeeves, check mine for me and filter out the riffraff. https://t.co/LAPWKPd1BF

Ugh. Untermenschen. <shudder> @jonathanchait

Not interested in licking Jonathan’s boots? Fine. He’s got no use for you.
@jonathanchait @brianbeutler So, an elitist doesn't want to hear from us "little people". Got it.

@jonathanchait also a bit elitist sounding… all of us non verified ppl aren't jerks but YMMV. @brianbeutler

@CuffyMeh Man, I thought I was an elitist, but that guy makes me look like Eugene Debs.

I see Chait is taking the social out of his social media. Apt time to re-up this from 2011: https://t.co/qEGAbHItEd

Semi-semi-related — I started making sure to not buy anything from companies that pay you. https://t.co/6uLkqin3UM

What? You people are still tweeting at him?
Checked my non-verified mentions, and they're making a great case for why I should stick with verified. pic.twitter.com/lRy6407h06

Oh, when will we learn?
Straighten up, garbage people! He's checking in on us. https://t.co/xt8XNaGXQw

"Oh, Piss Boy!" https://t.co/xt8XNaGXQw

Eh, you know what they say:
