Seriously. I'm not a twitter fan, but even so, it's a short-form medium. Why do people abuse it like this, especially with great content? What's so bad about tweeting a link to a blog? Anyhow, I use threadereaderapp to get through the frustrating twitter UI and the ways that it is abused: https://threadreaderapp.com/thread/1534301374166474752.html https://threadreaderapp.com/thread/1534301374166474752.html

> Why do people abuse it like this, especially with great content? Probably to get a wider audience to actually read and engage with the ideas, and to crowdsource relevant information from said audience. > What's so bad about tweeting a link to a blog? Probably an 80%+ reduction (total guess) in the number of people who engage directly with the content and author.
