    The experience of a news consumer is going to be different from that of a professional journalist. Kinda like the experience of eating a burger is different from working in a kitchen. Yeah, they’re two different things, we were talking journalism. Twitter was never great for news as a consumer imo, but it was a very valuable resource for journalists. I’m not sure how good X is for either but I’m pretty sure nether experience will have improved.

      Yes I get that, but what’s the point of “twitter for journalists” if we separate that from people consuming said news? Basically you are saying Twitter is a great note gathering tool for journalists?

      Even your claim that it was a great source for journalists I find sus. Maybe lazy journalists that only parrot twitter quotes. Where is the investigation? Corroboration? Context?

      I’m not sure how good X is for either but I’m pretty sure nether experience will have improved.

      In this we agree 100%
