Twitter, now X, was once a useful site for breaking news. The Baltimore bridge collapse shows those days are long gone.

It’s actually crazy how low the percentage of people under like… forty is now that actually gets their news direct from a news site. Seriously, i don’t know a single person from like 20-35 who actually just goes on the NPR or C-SPAN app or whatever.

It kind of sucks. So much news is just reading the headline and seeing a photo now. And I just feel like there’s something bad about being able to see a comment section on Twitter or Reddit or even Lemmy now on every news event. Makes for a lot more group think rather than just reading the news and going “huh”

The dark forest of the Internet is driving this migration of human Internet traffic. It is not a fault but rather a result.
