On the topic of the "CW everything".

I think that "CW everything" crowd should study behaviour science a bit.

By CW'ing everything, we're training to automatically open CW'ed toots, defating the purpose of CW.

@jonn I've been thinking of a CW as kind of a subject line, hopefully informative enough that you can tell if a toot's going to be boring (or worse) to you. But I agree it needs to be used with care, not on everything.

@edwinb it has word "warning" in it.

I have always assumed that it's to make sure that we don't set off a traumatic response from our readers. So yeah, I argue that overusing it makes it likely to be taken lightly.
