If Twitter goes away, where will our TV news channels find their content? Where will the tweets come from? How will they hold 3 hour debates screaming about an opinion made on Twitter?
An entire industry will collapse and they'll have to send people on the ground again. 😭
@Memeghnad You mean that journalists will have to become journalists again and not just tweet-forwardees? Like in the good old days? 😱😁
@kjoo unfortunately yes. And the channels will have to spend actual money for them to actually travel, stay and do shit on the ground.
@Memeghnad @kjoo you give them too much credit. They will just scour Instagram, tiktok and the shadowy depths of facebook
@kjoo @Memeghnad actually, that's a good point, I have no idea if its still a thing. Haven't been on it in a decade or so. These journalists will adapt (if they even have to, which I don't think they will) in the easiest way possible though
@obi @Memeghnad ah, forgot the other social media. But twitter was often their main source for rumors. Basically some news become only fancy "tweet readers". Could have been replaced with text2speech easily. 😉
And Facebook is still a thing? I mean, except for ads for old people? 😆
