    One account on X said: “Ferrari just killed their brand just like Jaguar did. This is straight to the junkyard trash.”

    “What is going on with European Luxury car manufacturers? First Jaguar and now Ferrari”, another account posted.

    But not all commentators were felt negatively about the new car, with one post saying: “Absolute masterclass in design. Ferrari just unveiled the breathtaking LUCE concept, and it is a total game changer.”

    Honestly, BBC, if you’re going to aggregate statistics about tweets on Twitter, use it as some kind of crude poll, maybe you could get something useful that way.

    But reporting on anecdotes about anonymous tweets for things like opinion seems of almost zero value from a news standpoint. If a tweet mentioned a fact that you could validate, say, that might have some value.

    But what you’re doing here is on-par with saying “someone on Twitter said that they liked chocolate ice cream, and someone else said that they didn’t like chocolate ice cream”. That just doesn’t really seem newsworthy. I would say that it’d be surprising if you couldn’t find posts of both sorts for virtually any topic.

      Twitter is also a Nazi bar full of people that take anything slightly less harmful for humanity as a personal attack.

      Its not hard to see what they’re doing…

      First they add negative comments, then follow up with a positive post to seem like they’re being Impartial!

      It’d be interesting to see how often the negative comments are put before the positive comments though because i’d guess it’s a lot higher than the reverse!
