It was extremely useful in sports for quick in-game updates, especially from third-party groups (like the news beat reporters, versus getting info from the team).
It’s really entrenched, though: Even with all of the chaos and controversy, it’s hard to find articles that reference something that happened in a game that don’t embed some tweets (or whatever they hell they’re called now) for the video. It’s extremely frustrating. I think, in part, that’s why the hockey community here on lemmy isn’t taking off - no one wants to link to Twitter, and there are basically no other sources.
ESPN’s app seems to do my updates and I don’t have everyone’s opinion on it either. I mean I guess I can see the meme angle. But I think that would find it’s way anyways.

ESPN’s app doesn’t note when a player is missing off the bench or something like that. The reporters at the game notice it and X it out.
