In Norway less people use Twitter then fucking teletext
Yet it's in the media all the time
That screenshot is old enough to drink. Do people actually still use teletext?
Actually yes
According to the national media, twice as many use teletext than Twitter in Norway

Twitter is shoved down our throats because every time you go to a news site they embed it into their articles. Twitter is a success because journalists are addicted to it despite constantly complaining about how shitty it is.
What journalist wouldn't love a giant repository of short, easily digestible, up to the minute quotes, with built in attribution?
