    Part of it is FOMO, but unfortunately, a lot of news is still broken on Twitter and it is still sometimes useful (I don’t use it myself, but others do) as a real-time source of news as it unfolds. There are also a lot of governments that use Twitter to post announcements.

    Like I said, I don’t use it myself, but I think all of those things contribute.
