Is that just for entertainment or did you use that information in some way?
It's similar to papers or tv stations crowing how they broke a story. So what? Do I really need (or do most people) to know that there is a mass tragedy (only one example) the minute it happens? It can't wait? Not everything that happens is '911' grade information.

- Dylan16807 8y ago> "just" is just your opinion Reading the entire sentence makes it clear that "just" refers to whether or not they "use that information in some way", and that is not an opinion. > I do. You cut off "the minute it happens". It's not about whether you learn it, but how rapidly.
- hopler 8y agoIf you want to make money betting on the info, you do. Breaking a story matters if no one else was looking, but yeah not of everyone was racing.
