Of all the changes to Twitter, blog-length tweets is by far the worst. Algo quality is far worse now too, but nothing makes me switch to another app quicker than a wall of text I’m only mildly interested in.
There are a few exceptions which may be worth capturing, but you probably want _some_ form of rate limiting per user.
Short messages = speed and succinctness Perfect for instantaneous global comms
I couldn’t agree more. I love blogs and well-crafted newsletters, but I also love the format that twitter helped create and I’m sad to see them so focused on trapping people on the platform that they’re trying to merge these things for the detriment of the soul of their product
My long winded reply on why blog length tweets haven't changed anything substantial about Twitter, a🧵 1/♾️
They’re worse than blog posts but they’re still better than tweet threads
People were making blog length before too but with threads instead. Whats the big deal?
