More Things That Are Wrong, just plain wrong

It’s great to see you stepping out here on the tfk message board sharing your thoughts and interacting with others. Well done you. Stay strong for yourself.

But RTÉ cover horse racing and Rugby. Why pick on the winter Olympics and not these ?

Darren Frehill is over there. Hopefully he pays a visit to DPRK and is caught stealing a poster.

The winter Olympics is class. Delighted to have it reported on.

You are correct. But it’s limitations are being increasingly exposed. It will take time but it is already clearly in decline. Its market penetration is not very strong and has stalled and in many markets it’s is non existent. Instagram has well overtaken it in Ireland for example and is still growing. The same circles and echo chambers you are talking about will take longer to change but eventually migrate to other platforms. A lot of people are pretty much required to be on it for work, that won’t sustain it either.

Naturally weirdo loser types that spend hours browsing twitter and posting links to tweets on other sites will not see this because they think twitter actually matters.

I agree with most of this and think twitter is horrendous shite. The unmeasurable variable is how important is the fact that many many influencers use it as one of their first means of social media. Will this keep it relevant? Also, it is still the go to place for breaking news fast.

I love the bit in bold. Lads spend hours browsing the wrong sites… Surely they know TFK is first and best for all news opinion etc.

The fact that Twitter has yet to have a quarter when they turned a profit is a far bigger problem than anything anyone has posted about it on here. They’re literally burning money with no sign of it changing.

Twitter have announced a quarterly profit.

The one bit of the US growth story that Trump can actually take credit for.

Sending athletes is an even bigger waste of money.

cc @glasagusban - Cat got your tongue?

Juhniallio · February 8, 2018, 4:57pm

Bumped for @Mac You were only 91 and a bit million wrong.

Brimmer_Bradley · February 8, 2018, 5:00pm

Ooooft.

Brimmer_Bradley · February 8, 2018, 5:01pm

Lads go easy on @Mac. He’s being battered on several threads this afternoon.

maroonandwhite · February 8, 2018, 5:40pm

You get a better class of sportsman in the winter Olympics. Sure any fool could run around a track.

Mac · February 8, 2018, 5:43pm

Thanks for validating that I was correct yesterday

myboyblue · February 8, 2018, 5:43pm

Yesterday’s not wortha fuck around here as you well know Mac

Mac · February 8, 2018, 5:46pm

My point was correct. That’s all that matters

anon61956325 · February 8, 2018, 5:48pm

Your point is old hat. Fuck off for yourself.

anon61956325 · February 8, 2018, 5:49pm

In the grand scheme of things… No one gives a fuck about curling and skiing, bro… A few mountain men from Scandinavia and central Europe can go and fuck.

maroonandwhite · February 8, 2018, 5:53pm

I actually tried curling last week. Not as easy as it looks.

anon61956325 · February 8, 2018, 5:54pm

Was this after the Superbowl
