turns out, this whole time, all the serious reporters and news industry people who were convinced twitter was so important, have been suffering from the same gambling addiction brain illness as the most repulsive anime groypers with 500 banned accounts

i worked for a news agency whose internal reporting showed twitter accounted for less than 1% of their audience engagement, even before musk

there is no excuse for any news org to still be on that hellsite. might as well be on tumblr or second life or whatever

Yes, i think it is more of a matter of perceived self-importance and prestige (:lmao:) among the journalists than anything else. It's also cheaper for the newspapers to support their journalist by giving stuff to post on their social gathering place than by giving them a salary raise. Twitter was always the place where journalists circle-jerked about having the biggest, now they need a new site.

yeah for the longest time i suspected that getting traffic from twitter was practically negligible for most outlets, so good to see at least some confirmation.


so regarding that EU thing, what's the most severe punishment they could give musk?
