- retsibsi 7y agoTwitter is basically an excuse to make pithy, sweeping pronouncements rather than nuanced or detailed arguments. An essay on this topic might be interesting and useful, but as a 16-word tweet it's just empty. "Don't publish important things behind paywalls" is a very easy moral principle for a rich person to adopt. That doesn't mean it's false -- but to make the point convincingly, one would have to take the perspective of people who have strong reasons to publish behind paywalls in the first place, and explain why they can and should resist these pressures.
