Should WrestlingSmarks Ban Twitter Embeds?

[Grimoire Lenin]

Yeah it really isn't like if we ban embeds but allow screenshots it's the end of the world, it only limits and minimizes traffic towards Twitter and other sites.

Truth be told did people really care about this before or after Musk took ownership of X? I get peoples anger on the thing but unless I was living under a Rock that is on me I don't remember people in the Chat asking for this since 2022 when he took over.

it's literally been discussion since he bought it. he did a nazi salute yesterday at the inauguration and the president admited he helped him rig the election.

what point are you trying to make here exactly because right now it just feels like you are telling people they don't actually care, which is pretty arrogant.

 

[Comrade Khan]

I've brought up banning twitter threads since the day he bought it, so miss me with the performative accusations. Just because YOU don't care doesn't mean that every one who says they care is lying. cmon man

Like I said I'm not in the Chat etc arguing about things like this and I respect anyones opinion on this but I have my own problems going on in life right now to worry about this to this degree. Either way I respect whatever happens with this carry on.

 

[Comrade Khan]

I see

 

[RDT]

No.

I get the idea and yes Elon is a piece of shit, but really the only people these bans hurt are the people working for X and people who use embedding for X. It's never going to matter to the ultra rich owners of these apps.

 

[Kim Jong Umb]

Use whatever the hell you want. Plain and simple. Hell you want to mail smark wrestling news go do it.

 

[Comrade Khan]

you do realize less traffic = less ads = less money. That is how engagement works

respect your opinion but this is factually false and a terrible argument

The traffic from this small ass website ain’t hurting anyone this is more of stance of morality that people would like to take

Are you ok?

I voted for the screenshot one.

But I do question what to do when it’s a video. As someone who tries to keep the AEW section updated, with great help from Chris and Jeff on that, AEW post a lot of videos to Twitter (instagram sometimes as well so I could use those instead in those cases). I’m just trying to see what people would suggest to do in those cases.

for aew, i think there is a bot on Bluesky that retweets the aew account.

That is a good point though and I thing a good step would also be to contact AEW and other media and let them know we would really like them to produce content outside of twitter.

Fortunately a lot of the videos are on youtube aswell.

Fair concern though, we would have to work towards a solution there.

I would assume WWE has a similar account of Blue that does this for videos and tweets. Though that might be harder because they literally have a show on X to complicate things. Might have to have reasonable exceptions in the interim if this decision is accepted.

Unfortunately they don't, but Fightful does post clips here and there.
