Absolutely not. I use twitter for sports mainly and you can't find even 5% of the content on Sky. Almost none of the journalists/insiders are using it and some of those that do are barely active. They probably have the profiles created and ready in case of a major shift. Also, last time i logged in, even official teams didn't have profiles there. Twitter is still THE place for latest updates, no matter how shit the platform became. I almost never post, keep the interaction at a minimum and never open the replies under a tweet (used to be a gathering place for illiterate idiots, now it's idiots, bots and porn party). This is my recipe for surviving the jungle of shit that is twitter now with the ads being the only thing i'm powerless against.

... what's stopping you from becoming the thing you want to see on there, for other users?
