Social Media Septic Tank Thread

[Hollywood Cannon]

Remember when he posted here?

Rabid anti-stat and anti-Couturier poster.

Then he ran away, back to Twitter where he belongs.

Can’t be all that bad.

We should have him on our podcast.

HOW CAN THIS MF BE THE NEXT STAR IN MEDIA???? HE IS SOOO STUPID ITS NOT EVEN FUNNY ANYMORE!

It has little to do with writing talent or original insight in the modern media environment. To survive as a writer today, you need to be willing to produce a lot of content for cheap/free and play the social media game religiously—as in, tweet basic, high-engagement bullshit 24/7 to build a personal brand.

Publications need ad revenue, to get that they need clicks, so they're looking for people who have already displayed that dedication and established a decent following that they can leverage. Hence, the burgeoning voices in sports media often aren't the people who write the best pieces, or ask the best questions, or bring the best knowledge. The work hardly ever speaks for itself anymore. It's all about most, not best.

On one hand, I both understand and respect it. To get there takes a lot of intent and hustle and all that feel-good shit. A lot of these folks have learned to play a new game well. Good for all the Anthonys out there.

On the other hand, I'm a noxious competive prick who was a f***ing elite 1C writing prospect, but I spent my early career wistfully drinking rather than tweeting out a bunch of clickbait screeds I wrote for free, so I'm bitter and hate all their guts.

Nah. Death penalty.





Also, I looked for one of his braindead Sanheim hot takes as an example but was surprised to see he has 3 total tweets about him… ever.

Until I realized that the idiot doesn’t know how to spell his name and every time he talks out of his ass, he’s crying about “Sanhiem” instead.

He’s a perfect example of the absolute worst fan.

Well shit, if one of the dumbest c**ts on Twitter has seen enough…

Until I saw Bill's first line I thought they were talking about Hayes

If the first idiot was talking about Hayes his tweet would actually make sense too.

But no.

Of course not.

Never.

I honestly thought that. One is a guy playing his first full season starting in the NHL. The other, a guy we traded assets for, simply to negotiate with. And negotiated right into an overpay. So you can see my confusion.

Our error was not immediately remembering that Twitter is full of braindead assholes.

Oh I've never been on Twitter. I just see that stuff here. Still, I feel confident agreeing with you 1000% on that note. God bless the intrawebs. Now we're ALL connected!

"St. Louis gave up on him."

He was basically still a prospect when he was part of the package that got them O'Reilly and a Cup.

 

[Strawberry Fields]

I know it's been said numerous times here but if Tage was Flyers property, they would've 100% forced him to play "big" and not to his strengths

 

[LegionOfDoom91]

He’s probably not even on the roster right now if the Flyers drafted him.

Honestly Buffalo hitting another reset with moving on from Eichel, Bennett, etc. probably afforded some more time or maybe he’s not even in Buffalo right now either.

 

[LegionOfDoom91]

Yup, that’s really why no one cares!

[Ironmanrulez]

can we ban hindsight from the internet like spoilers or backseatgaming out of gaming streams?

Its acccccktualllyyyy griefing and beyond stupid

 

[Hollywood Cannon]

This guy is getting worse all the time.

 

[Cody Webster]

 

[Chicken N Raffls]

Jesus. Just make up shit constantly and put it on Twitter till something sticks. Or doesn't, but who cares? Just post more shit.

 

[BigToe]

Usually just lurk and don't post in here but.....
