If this is the quality of “independent journalism” we can expect on Twitter/X/TwiX, then let it burn to the ground. Clickbait isn’t journalism.

Came to say this. Clickbait bullshit blogging/article churning isn’t journalism. Good fucking riddance.

I’d print this article out but it’s not fit to wipe my ass with.

Fuck Twitter, they don’t have any monopoly on “news” or journalism. Blogging, and many other forms of independent journalism existed before Twitter and they still work. Twitter is not the Internet, and it’s not a newspaper or magazine. The Internet will be just fine without it and the world wide web can host any journalism that anybody wants to publish.
