People tweeting stuff. We allow tweets from anyone.

RULES:

Mark NSFW content.

No doxxing people.

Must be a pic of the tweet or similar. No direct links to the tweet.

No international politcs

Be excellent to each other.

Provide an archived link to the tweet (or similar) being shown if it's a major celebrity, figure or any politician. If you replace the "x" at their site with xcancel (so it beomes xcancel.com), and you're not on mobile, it will save video. https://web.archive.org/save is another great option. Archive.is is no longer recommended because they remove/alter content.

If a tweet (or similar) makes a statement of fact, either mark it as "satire" in the body or provide the original source link backing up the statement

PSA: The top 10 lists are 100% bought and paid for, or pushed by the streaming service in question.

You know I've worked on these sorts of bullshit features (under protest) as a developer (special sorting algorithms that bump up the score of monetized entries over organic (aka real) ones) and somehow I never stopped to think that everyone was likely doing the same.

Naivety, I guess

Something like this?

SELECT *
FROM content
ORDER BY (views + bribe) DESC;

Absolutely. Ever since shitflix removed the star ratings and reviews that were done by real people, I stopped believing any of that "top list" bullshit.
