The "delighted Ashley has gone, but uncomfortable with Saudi ownership" thread


Recommended Posts

Bot farms usually have distinctive account handles. Usually long with lots of letters and numbers that do not make sense.

 

Sadly, these are real people and most of them are probably uneducated under 20s as Twitter is very popular among the youth in Saudi Arabia. The recency of the Saudi takeover deal made a lot of young people in Saudi get involved in Newcastle United news these days, but from past experiences, we will probably not see a lot of these online attacks in future.

Twitter is such a fucking cesspit. Wish it didn't exist. All social media platforms have their pros and cons but I really think that one is just the pits. 

 

It's the worst thing humanity has created in the past 20 years. No exaggeration. There was a time when it didn't matter because people seperated their online lives from the "real" world, so the garbage was sort of self-contained but that line doesn't exist anymore.

 

Aside from the awful "community", the owners have this weird fascination with forcing you to consume the content they want. You used to be able to select what "trends" you saw based on a bunch of stuff like location - now when I go on all I see there are headlines from Buzzfeed and the Liverpool Echo. For reasons unknown.

 

Well, anyway.

depressing and hope it doesn't become a pattern of any journos saying something even vaguely negative about us getting barraged with this shit. Social media is a raging dumpster fire however, everyone would be wise to leave it it alone tbh however unfortunately for journos it has become slightly necessary

quite ironic that its the journos now getting a shit barrage considering NUFC fans have had to put up with for 14 years.
