We’ll celebrate 1 year off the Twit in a few weeks; leaving didn’t hurt HRB in the least as we hit record readership highs in 2025, though guess we did miss out on hollow, valueless metrics, “likes, retweets, impressions,” which plenty of teams, leagues, media people continue to chase for ~reasons~
We quit Twitter a long time ago but this still struck a nerve with some. That said, we’ve never regretted our decision.
