“Flipboard is a news aggregator and social network aggregation company”

Cool that they’re avoiding Musk, but that seems more than a bit redundant.

How exactly is that redundant? Seems to me to be another service that collates and curates content out of the sea of the internet, and helps people find more targeted content.

An account on a news aggregator/social network for a separate news aggregator seems redundant. I realize that they’re trying to poach users, but on its face it still looks redundant.

Have a downvote for being logical.

Won’t be the last time. Thank god karma’s even more worthless here than Reddit.
