To those trying to predict Twitter\u2019s fate, there\u2019s probably no one more representative of a certain part of Twitter than Dril. His posts have become meme formats and copypasta; in\u00a0one tweet<\/a>\u00a0he even appeared to\u00a0predict the end of Twitter in 2022<\/a>. Academics have\u00a0dissected<\/a>\u00a0and\u00a0analyzed<\/a>\u00a0his tweets. The\u00a0A.V. Club<\/a>, an online publication devoted to pop culture, declared Dril \u201cthe patron saint of the internet itself\u201d and \u201ca rare rallying point and muse for everyone, regardless of affiliation or creed.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n
