The WaPo article at least cites some actual stats:
> In 2022, only 3 percent of Brazilians cited the social network as their preferred location to consume political news, the area in which Twitter was once strongest, according to a survey by the Institute for Democracy and Democratization of Communication.
So you agree the WaPo article is crap? Because it uses anecdotes to prove a negative, while the article I linked disproves the WaPo by showing that some Brazilians do care. You can't prove a negative with anecdotes but you can prove a positive.
No, I'd suggest reading the next line of my comment. It "at least cites some actual stats" rather than quoting Cardi B and the admins of a Timothy Chalamet fan page.
3% of Brazilian population is still 6.45 million people who primarily use X for news. There are 23 million X users in Brazil. That's a lot of people.
It's like 6.45 million people primarily using a mix of styrofoam and lead as basis for a healthy diet
