Is it good for players to interact directly on Twitter with fans?

The recent Q&A by Steve Cook and a Newcastle United fan caused quite a stir. The Newcastle fan was perhaps being a bit gullible in opening himself up for the ultimate comeback when he said who are you to Steve Cook? The goal that Steve Scored against Newcastle United in the final minutes of the game in November 2017, at St James' Park is perhaps one of the biggest moments of Steve Cook's career and the Newcastle fan walked right into it.
Steve Cook reaches out to fans, but gets attacked as a nobody.
I like the fact that players are willing to answer questions from fans. Steve probably expected more questions from Bournemouth fans, but when you get an opportunity to rub someone's face in it who is clearly being disrespectful should players hold back? I don't see why if it is done in a cheeky manner and Steve Cook certainly let his past actions be his words.
While the fan has no comeback to playing for his team, it is perhaps hard for the fan to be put in his place so firmly, but the reply was initiated by the Newcastle fan and they might think twice before firing off at an opposition player next time. If any Newcastle Utd fans are reading this at least you can say your club made a profit of £27.5m last year, according to Shields Gazette. The only problem is that most of that will go to Mike Ashley!

Steve Cook has been very kind in allowing fans to send in questions and sparing his time to reply. It is sometimes hard to be a professional football player as everyone has a score to settle it seems with footballers, and even when you want to be genuine with fans, it's not always easy and can back fire.

 I sent off a question myself to Steve to see if he replies and will let you know if he does reply to my question which was how worried he might be for AFCB this season if we do play to a finish and if confidence is still high?
