- dragonwriter 5y agoOn Twitter as everywhere else, approximately nobody clicks the link. But there's some chance they’ll read through a chain of tweets.
- wvenable 5y agoI clicked a link to get to this twitter feed monstrosity.
- t-writescode 5y agoA large percentage of TypeFast's twitter followers won't.
- malfist 5y agoWorse, 20+ tweets that don't provide any more nuance than the original tweet, so this literally could have been one tweet
- coolso 5y agoIt’s hard to write 20 consecutive blog posts without seeming extremely pretentious. To the average Twitter user, massive Tweet chains means the person has something really important to say. The fact that they’re getting around the max tweet size makes things very rebellious, adding to that counterculture feel you only get on Twitter.. Add in the blue checkmark next to the name and yeah, I guess you could say Twitter users are pretty cool for using Twitter.
