Why Even Bother? People Know!

At the end of the day, I don't care one way or the other, as I'm not an avid or even a casual user for that matter or fan of the app "X", formally known as Twitter.  However, here is the problem I have with the recent renaming of the app.

Seems, most articles and news stories that contain references to "X" often times follow said reference with the following statement or something similar -  "the platform formerly known as Twitter", UGH!

Here are a couple examples I pulled from random news articles - 


"Not the way any of us wanted it to go, but we know the commitment you've made to this team will continue to impact us moving forward," the Jets wrote on X, the social media platform formerly known as Twitter.


"House Republicans have been investigating the President for 9 months, and they've turned up no evidence of wrongdoing. His own GOP members have said so. He vowed to hold a vote to open impeachment, now he flip flopped because he doesn't have support. Extreme politics at its worst," Sams wrote on X, formerly Twitter.


Was similar with Prince, when he changed his name to that symbol, forever referred to as the "artist formally known as Prince"

PALEEEESE and fuck off!
