Darren Rovell can't shill for brands if twitter doesn't exist!
Rather than retweet people, he does a lot of "steal pic, 'credit via /cc'" essentially stealing a ton of exposure for other smaller twitter users. How many people click on an @ to see who recorded a video clip rather than just click the RT button.
Says there can't be racism in sponsorships (in reference to Serena Williams not getting sponsorship) because there are black athletes that get big $ deals, therefore no racism can exist!
Says college players don't deserve to get paid, no one even knows who they are! (Except you know people from that school, rival, and obviously excluding the superstar college players who are probably losing the most)
Tweets constantly about the food he eats at sports events which would be fine if he hadn't written some stupid article 5 years ago chiding "foodies that tweet 10 sports tweets"
- galistoca 11y agoJust to let you know, there are some people who actually hate retweets. I would prefer that someone I follow would tweet only in their own voice even if they're resharing what someone else shared. As you said, he signs his retweets with "credit via". I mean what more do you want him to do? In my experience the most annoying thing on Twitter is just because I'm following Marc Andreesen I have to consume all the random tweets he retweets from his friends/colleagues/interns/acquaintances/some random guy he met online.
- Huhty 11y agoHi Darren.
- swang 11y agouhm, you can retweet someone while also writing your own comment thus giving your own take and giving people their credit's due! literally that is what i want him to do. that is what "more" he can do. literally give people credit for what they tweet about. also you are probably the only person who "hates" retweets. i don't even get what that means.
- galistoca 11y agoYou're taking this tweeting thing too seriously. It's not like someone wrote a nobel prize winning discovery on Twitter and someone else stole it to publish on Nature and took the credit. That aside, based on all the downvotes I received I guess I'll get downvoted again for this but just gotta say this. I didn't say you were wrong. I said there are other people who feel this way and was just sharing another point of view. And you are the one who's refusing to accept there can be other perspectives.
- pswilson14 11y agoYou can actually turn off retweets for individual users if you want to. I do that a lot.
