Twitter is often a platform for arguments between netizens. This perception aligns with a Reuters Institute survey reported in the *Digital News Report 2021*.

Enjoying debates and comments on news is one of the reasons Twitter users read news on the platform. This accounts for 20% of the total Twitter user respondents in 2021, making it the second most common reason.

The primary reason Twitter users read news on the platform is that it's considered a good place to get the latest information. This reason was chosen by 25% of respondents.

"Compared to Facebook, only 13% said the same," stated the Reuters Institute in its report.

Another reason is that X, the new Twitter brand, provides alternative perspectives not offered by mainstream media. This reason was selected by 17% of respondents.

Other reasons accounted for 14%; highly important personal reasons, 11%; and the most enjoyable way to spend time, 10%.

This survey targeted 6,218 Twitter users in various countries. However, the *Digital News Report 2021* generally surveyed 92,000 online news readers in 46 countries, including Indonesia.
