> I never miss any important news despite having been off it for so long.

When did you ever miss important news if you weren’t on Twitter?

There was a time, maybe 15 years ago?, when a journalist "on the ground" of something happening would post it to Twitter within seconds of it happening; and it'd be picked up by major news cycles only next day or something.

It may have lasted for a couple of years, a few at most, and the news clearly adapted. We (the reader/consumer) adapted.

Check out how long it takes for someone to post on Twitter they are leaving OpenAI or google or (...) and for non-Twitter users to find that out. It's minutes at best. Seconds, usually.

That moat is dry and filled in and has been for a decade
