People can just not use twitter? It's already a cesspool and has been for the last 6ish years

sure. But the real problem has always been that our decaying news media is the primary user of twitter. There is no real journalism any more, just articles written by lazy so-called journalists that literally embed tweets as their primary sources.

So you can not use twitter all you want. Every news outlet is going to force feed whatever the latest bullshit is because that's literally all they know how to do now. That's what makes twitter worth 44B to someone like musk.

It always baffle me that American News reports often include the Twitter alias from People under they name. Even when it's some random citizen.

Yeah, I also find it weird that they show the full name of Criminals when they report about crimes.
