I’ve been hating this since Twitter became a thing. I used to read BBC news articles for (seemingly) good quality reporting, and then they started quoting random twitter users. Like, who gives a fuck?

Hell, there are even news articles only quoting Tweets.
And TV shows only re-streaming viral YT videos. I imagine these people just watch YT the whole day and call it work.

It always seemed strange to me as well. Who is this person, and why should I value their opinion?

Even worse when a “news” article is just embedding a bunch of Tweets from random people and calling it news.
