    One of the few benefits that Twitter used to have was how useful it was for breaking news and events.

      Yeah, it was very useful at getting hot takes, misinformation, sensationalist and outsourced soundbites. It still useful for that, but now there is more unchecked nazism.

        Good thing you figured out how to get your hot takes elsewhere.

          Or, here me out for a second, I figured that I shouldn’t rely on hot takes to get my information.
