Question for you guys ...

Do you bother visiting websites much these days for your news or is it all apps?

I tend to only visit websites for research purposes or when booking flights for example. I tend to obtain my news via my mobile device be it from credible accounts on Twitter or other social media platforms. Yes some links may take me to websites but how do you prefer to obtain your news?

Do people, for example, really sit hunched over a desktop computer in their lounge or bedroom when looking for LFC news? Those days are gone, no?

The reason I ask is because I'm unsure what to focus on these days. After 2 decades of KopTalk I need to evaluate what to do next. Do I focus on an app instead? Do I stick with the website? Do I focus on videos and let the others waste their time typing up articles that generate little revenue hence why they click-bait the **** out of you?

I need some help and who better to guide me than the people who matter i.e. YOU!

Many thanks

tbh dunk, I only come to this website for the forum. There are so many news outlets out there that churn out the same news, which is then cited by other providers churning out the same [oops]. The market is saturated with that kind of thing. I dont really use apps for my sports news, I usually stick to Sky and BBC websites as they tend to be somewhat reliable. They have apps but its just as easy for me to go on to their website on my phone. Twitter is a cesspool of [oops]. So I tend to avoid that. With regards to you, I regularly check out what you have to say on your videos. Though its quite clear you have been less active in recent months for various reasons. I think where you're strongest, and ultimately where there is a gap in todays market in terms of liverpool news, is your thoughts and insights into the internal runnings of the club. The business side of things. I know thats not the sexiest of topics, or even something you even wanna talk about as a football fan. But the way I see it, you've always called it how you've seen it objectively regardless of whether the team was doing well. Right now the team IS doing well and we have a fantastic manager. So much so that many other news outlets are overlooking, or rather not bothering, to analyse/scrutinise the running and ownership of the club. What they're doing right. Where they're penny pinching and where they could have done better. Just my thoughts for what they're worth.

Same as above for the most part. I come on for the forum and use the website on my laptop. For credible reports I use the BBC, Sky or I like the Guardian football section. For me as a US based fan I find the opinions on here invaluable........mostly. I'll check out your videos when there's something big going on at the club.

Apps. One Football, youtube, and the Athletic. When I have a break at work I'll check here and other forums, but I don't really get my news here.

Much like everyone else I read the forum, I lurk most of the time but enjoy some of the posts, well the credible ones! From a news perspective BBC, Sky and Athletic and some twitter feeds - the reputable ones!

I like the video's maybe that is the future via an app, as you say there is plenty of news to see/read without sitting at a desktop/laptop all day
