      I didn’t mean that there isn’t any good information on social media. I have spent a bunch of time watching video lectures that MITOpenCourseWare has posted on youtube.

      Using social media sites as a news aggregator is like looking at the news through a filter. I think that is bad because you don’t know how the filter works and you don’t control the filter.
