For non-celebrities, Twitter is low-rent. Spend your day refreshing HN for a salary boost.

If you are business insider, it's probably best to refresh r/wallstreetbets.

No one in the industry actually looks at wsb except to laugh at them. The people there are... to put it nicely, uninformed.

It was a joke about how they have ran multiple stories sourced from there due to them finding bugs in robinhood and exploiting them, most recently the infinite leverage cheat code.

Did this really require a throwaway? I thought it was funny.

It’s basically just trolling, which HN usually frowns on. No useful discussion is gonna come from this snark.

Worked in a non editorial role in media for 10 years. It's mostly therapeutic...

Not just twitter, but Reuters. You'd be surprised how little actual journalism is done. Like 90% of what you hear and read comes from one or two organizations who operate as the primary sources.
