Literally cannot get hockey updates from any other platform. Those journalists just simply have not moved to another platform.
Google what exactly? Specific contract details or bits from interviews which are, in many cases, posted behind paywalls (The Athletic) outside of the little bits that they put on Twitter? Literally just cannot get that information otherwise.
Again, information I cannot get otherwise. Its only on Twitter, nowhere else. Like if a tweet just said "Everyone from yesterday cleared waivers", how would I even go about finding that information in such a simple format otherwise? Its just not possible and you assuming like it is just makes you look like you don't know how the situation is. These journalists just simply have not moved away from Twitter.
You mean I am going to keep on using the only platform these journalists are on to keep up with hockey, the only sport I keep up with? Yeah and that has nothing to do with its owner. If these journalists moved elsewhere, of course I'd switch.
Using a platform where millions of others are as well is not the same supporting someone like that. Even the fucking US government is still on there, do you think those guys support fascism? You just keep sounding more and more like you just think its that easy, its just that easy, isn't it? Everything is so simple to you.
Sports media all around is still heavily invested in Twitter and has shown no signs of even looking at alternate platforms.
I think I saw one guy on Threads, but he had to stop posting there because simply nobody saw his posts there and there was no engagement from his colleagues.
