In reply to the discussion: Complaints about OPs that are just Twitter links are WAY overstated! [View all]MineralMan
(146,288 posts)18. Many people see Twitter as an important source.
I'm not one of those, but I know that others see it that way, so I don't mind people posting bare Tweets. If DU was made up mostly of that, I'd go somewhere else, but it's not. I can deal with a small percentage of posts that don't appeal to me just fine.
It's nice to copy and paste Tweets if you post them, but that can be annoying, too, since the same thing shows up twice on my computer. I don't care, though. Such things just don't matter, really.

OP
I post the link for aesthetic and functional purposes and then copy the contents.
