I would really like to quote-tweet this, adding my 2 cents and amplifying Taylor's words.

But I can't. And that's unfortunate.

@dak3 Friction on top of friction.

@edbott @dak3 friction is a good thing, lack of friction incentivizes impulsive reactions. That's one thing that's wrong on Twitter alongside promoted accounts and its algorithms. And we're talking about journalists. They can write articles, but can't take a screenshot and copy a link?

@aristeon @edbott @dak3 Yeah, and I’m not sure why quote tweet is essential to their communicating with each other. There seems to be an assumption that social media is about the media and politics. Who wrote that rule?
