Good points, I didn’t mean to insinuate that you couldn’t have a website and a Twitter profile. In fact, I think having your own site as a backup and expanding into social media spaces is good business sense, like you’re saying.
I just think it’s sadly unfortunate for a lot of folks who don’t have a fallback plan and they hung everything on social media. Maybe they really didn’t have the resources or knowledge to put together their own website, not everyone does. It’s just… more accessible than flat out having to have a physical space.
