IowaOiler Posted November 16, 2023 Report Share Posted November 16, 2023 ESPN has been shit for years. At least PM brings some laughs and views from people who did more than rode the JV bench through their high school sports career. Twitter has also always been shit for sourcing. There are people everyone knows and can trust, and then there are parody accounts that just try to stir shit up. To act like it's knew to the post-Elon Twitter is just pandering from political ideologues. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nah, it's just gone to a completely different kind of shit. But whether it be diarrhea or constipation no one's asshole is satisfied with the state of affairs.

It dilutes the source and purpose of the what the App was created for. Musk has every right to change it how he sees fit, but that doesn't mean it isn't a valid point that Twitter used to be an excellent aggragator for breaking news and now it's a dumpster fire relative to what it was just a few years ago.

Musk has destroyed twitters value. His crusade against blue checkmarks was just that, personal. People warned him it would be a bad move. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jamalisms Posted November 17, 2023 Report Share Posted November 17, 2023 This is a perfect example of why Twitter has degraded. If you can't see it (no forced "parody" in the account name or description and no reliable checkmark to verify they're legit) then derp away. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Right. Now it's just an aggregator of personal information of the people who sign up for the blue check. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Titans279 Posted November 17, 2023 Report Share Posted November 17, 2023 Btw are there some negative implications for moving the trade deadline later? Seems like the NFL could be interested in making the trade deadline more of a media event Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
