Is there value to most breaking news? It's simply a facet of competition between news outlets, most news actually benefits from some delay.

- mindslight 3y agoExactly. I got the "breaking news" from Nitter. Like so many things it seems NYT reporters have leaned into destroying their own profession, by choosing the easy "thin" path of generating news articles by rephrasing tweets and shirking the harder work of analysis of sorting through the firehose. It feels like the Innovator's Dilemma where NYT doesn't want to miss out on being part of people's procrastination/relax loops, and it's cannibalizing their actual value.
