The biggest thing you pay for in the Bloomberg Terminal is the chat function, which lets you talk to other people who also have $25,000 a year to spend on a Bloomberg Terminal.
But this is still pretty cool :)

Other times I will go out of my way to send emails from the terminal just so others get a glance at my @bloomberg.net email address. I also have people send me stuff to the email if it's someone I haven't met before.
The Bloomberg Terminal is well worth it for these two perks. It's much better than paying for an @hey.com email address.
Also those representing parity overheard you and may have a bit to talk with you about.
Unless I missed sarcasm, in which case, please accept my humblest apologies.
Bloomberg's tooling is quite good, and you can get 80% of the way to a bespoke chart with 20% of the work.
Not sure if the above is speculation, or parody, or just a projection of a stylized view of how finance and the world works. But definitely the above comment is confusing / misleading to people who don't work in the industry.
If you receive a Bloomberg message from someone, it's something actionable. That's not true, in finance, of virtually any other electronic communication channel.
I never got spammed once on my terminal.
Not once.
That's some real blue sky thinking.
The idea that you still need to pay 25k$ for a communication software in 2021 is absurd.
Check my comment history, bought lots of link in 2017 because everyone was buying it on /biz/, posted about it once here and got criticized for it by someone because it's 4chan etc... and people will only listen to you if you have an expensive suite and watch on, even tech people ironically.
If information giving more than x100 ROI in 3 years isn't quality enough for you then I don't know what is.
One would be wise to look past the anonymity, racist jokes, homophobic jokes, etc... to find what you want, it's like diving in a lake of shit that has treasure chests under it you'll find it if you look hard and deep enough, but you'll have to swim in shit.
