    Okay, well, that's what it sounds like when the posts have to be about someone "near the levers of power." If it is not about that and is instead about the quality of the posts, I ask once again the question. Why is a picture of an Elon Musk tweet inherently a higher quality post than a picture of a tweet by someone with fewer followers?

      because its fucking elon musk, a person people know and have an effect on real world policies and a vast amount of people

      vs an actual nobody

      you need to stop, you're reaching into the nonsensical in order to argue at this point

        This is literally not an explanation, you're just repeating the assertion I questioned. I could make just as valid an argument the other way around. Posts of Elon Musk tweets are inherently low quality. Why? Because it's fucking Elon Musk. Also I have an even stronger argument, it's because I can go see Elon Musk tweets any time I want by typing www.twitter.com into my address bar. It is higher effort and higher quality to post things that I would not otherwise have found

      Do you seriously not understand the difference between some 0 follower twitter account and dunking on Elon fucking Musk?

      We can just post the low hanging fruit to shitreactionariessay on lemmygrad.

      Such a weird hill to die on.

      I find this site generally misanthropic and would prefer that that be confined to public figures at least.
