I’m seeing this story format more and more in news aggregators: a declarative statement followed by reposts of many many tweets saying exactly the same thing and no more.
Is there some value to reposting above the content-free tweets by Alexa Farrell, Jeff Mays, Myles Miller, katie honan, Tom Winter, and Julia Marsh that I’m missing?

Not even a damned full year.
Kinda surprising that no one has done this yet. I’d like one too.
