>People don't go to twitter for lengthy paragraphs or op-eds.
If this was true, don't you think people would stop posting tweetstorms that are 50-100 (sometimes more) tweets long?
- maxerickson 9y agoBoth can be true. It's entirely possible that the majority of traffic is people that never read tweetstorms and also that tweetstorms are very effective for some users.
- tomjen3 9y agoI am a daily Twitter user (the key is to find interesting people, and to block annoying people), and I doubt I have seen more than a handful of tweetstorms over 20 and certainly not more than 50.
- karlshea 9y agoI've started following @SethAbramson for his analysis of the Muller investigation and a recent thread of his was over 130. To be fair, even he hates it: https://twitter.com/SethAbramson/status/940658870808186881 https://twitter.com/SethAbramson/status/940658870808186881 > 1. I hate Twitter. > 2. No one should be on Twitter. > 3. I can't wait to no longer be on Twitter. But using it gets him the reach he wants shrug.
- libertyEQ 9y agoI quit Twitter in '10 b/c of the 'social media consultants.' I recently started simply bookmarking specific accounts related to politics and propaganda. When certain Tweets get lots of comments, I read them all (up X,000s; yes, this is problem). I'd be curious about your thoughts WRT to this thread, and the resulting 'threaded cache.' https://twitter.com/SethAbramson/status/939432544008921088 https://twitter.com/SethAbramson/status/939432544008921088 And this was turned into: https://threadreaderapp.com/thread/939432544008921088 https://threadreaderapp.com/thread/939432544008921088 Edit: I should add that I don't have a Twitter account anymore, just a lurker.
