I can't stand this "twitter hates x" trend where articles use a handful of embedded tweets to make their case, but then you look at the engagement on those tweets and they have like 2 likes. Good job, you found a couple of random people on twitter talking to themselves. You can do that for any opinion under the sun.

Maybe people really do hate the font, but use some real numbers to make your case, not this anecdotal vox pop fluff.

Same here. It's like all those sensationalist political / culture war articles that frame some out-there fringe idea as a mainstream agenda (e.g. "Curry considered racist"). Then you actually read past the headline, and it turns out some unknown blogger or tweeter was just looking for attention.

Anyone going purely off of headlines, and taking them at face value, would have an absolutely bizarre worldview by now.

"A few random Twitter users wrote some stuff" is one of my least favorite forms of modern journalism.

Yup. This is a non-story. People always complain when popular apps get UI updates.

Many of these articles could be generated automatically with a script using GPT-3. Simply supply a collection of tweets as a parameter.

Surely that’s exactly what happened.
