Perhaps technically, but I think by "aggregate" she means by crawling, rather than places where people post themselves.

Actual journalism, which just quotes parts or mentions the content in order to comment upon it (like you did), is very different from what she's criticizing, which is wholesale copying without any further purpose.
- 0xADEADBEE 8y agoI'm not sure it's fair to say 'without any further purpose'. People aren't leveraging the functionality of a third party to show a thread of tweets for fun; they're doing this because the experience of reading a thread on Twitter isn't as good as it could be, and the (what feels like a) sudden proliferation of thread compilers is a testament to that. There's a definite value add I think, and while she may not like it, I don't see that going away anytime soon.
