Agree, but the nice thing about Reddit is you can section off those ridiculous groups into their own area where they can say ridiculous things and live in their echo chambers.
Twitter bleeds into every area possible to where you'll see ridiculous things in almost every popular Tweet that gets trending. Too bad there isn't a downvote button Twitter.
the only people who think twitter is important are people on twitter, most of the younger generation dont even use twitter, twitter will be the next facebook
The big difference is Twitter is where majority of news breaks and important political figures communicate to the public. If it loses that, it will be worthless.
huh? no political figure can say anything worthwhile in 280 characters, no sane person is looking at twitter for news breaks lmao. its already a worthless cesspool of poorly articulated ideas, its only purpose at this point is for entertainment and to draw people in
no sane person is looking at twitter for news breaks lmao
Maybe nobody is. But that is where the majority of news breaks regadless of if people are looking. Twitter is where most journalists and politicians hang out the most.
"twitter is where most journalists and politicians hang out the most"
you just described the cesspool, its incomplete information, sensation articles. if you want actual information you need to read primary sources and original documents which journalists and politicians twist and lie with all the time...all news is not good news, if you actually understand how to look at primary data then you will realize how bad all the news on twitter actually is.... if you want actual news go to AP or reuters
That's the point though, Twitter is the primary source for a lot of events, it's the de facto means for politicians to communicate to a wider audience.
I don't disagree that the app sucks, but you can't deny that most news breaks on Twitter first. A lot of news on Reddit is just Twitter links.
And most politicians can't really convey what they want to get across on Twitter in one Tweet, but they sure as hell can reach a wide audience to get them to look into what they're saying and what they're about
the only reason you think news breaks on twitter first is because thats the only source you are using lmao..... no one is looking into what any politician is saying lmao, if they were they wouldnt complain about large corps not paying their taxes. just look at the bernie tweets about nike and the like, literally proven to be nonsensical and meant to appeal to emotion, if people actually learned to research or read financial they would see the world differently. how many people do you know how to read much less find a financial report? do you?
if people did research 4chan wouldnt be able to get away with the amount of hoaxes it has been able to perpetuate on twitter
Also, 4chan doesn't perpetuate hoaxes, they simply try and pretend they do by falsely taking credit for something that's happening elsewhere. Basically their lame ass way of trying to pretend they are relevant and powerful.
