Just fucking do it.
Maybe then other media will finally stop reporting shit like
"Person Z said Y on X (formerly Twitter)."
It’s annoying enough when they report what someone famous said on Twitter but the articles about what a bunch of random unknown people posted on Twitter (often phrased as if they represent a community) are even worse.
Headline: “People are outraged about something!”
Source: 5 random tweets I found that are mildly mocking the thing.
"Twitter went wild about this!"
Source: 5 random tweets from people with 22 followers each, most of whom are crypto spammers
