It's just so pointless and unnecessary... There are far better platforms for this. If you had to give a two-hour talk, would you post it as a Youtube video, or a series of TikTok snippets?
Twitter conversations are marginally less vacuous and pointless than YouTube comments, but not significantly so.
>what's better is that each Tweet (like a paragraph) can have comments and discussions corresponding to that Tweet. There's a finer level of detail in the overall conversation.
So there are people out there in the wild who actually unroll those mid-thread tweet replies and read them? Huh.

The snippets being marketing for the whole video, which itself is marketing for the rest of the channel. I'd wang it on Twitter, Facebook, Instagram and even LinkedIn too if there's a biz link.
- nh23423fefe 4y agoAh there's the disconnect. You dont care about the information, its just an ad. i thought people wanted their ideas out there and for people to be delighted to read them. naive.
- cercatrova 4y agoIf the content is truly good, then my incentive is for as many people to read it as possible. Therefore, why should I not advertise it? What's the point of good writing if no one is around to read it? Sure, you can write for yourself, but again, if you think the content is good, you should want as many people to read it as possible.
- corobo 4y agoIf I didn't care about the information I wouldn't bother marketing it. If I didn't care about the information I wouldn't bother making a video about it in the first place. If nobody sees your information, does it inform?
- kspacewalk2 4y agoYeah, I agree completely. I'd host the thing on YouTube (where content belongs) and promo it on TikTok, Twitter, Insta, etc (where promos, hot takes and bitchfests belong). So it is with written article of some length/substance, only instead of YouTube you can substitute any number of platforms, or even a self-hosted website.
- paulpauper 4y agoPosting a link on twitter will not go as viral as breaking it up into into text-only posts. Twitter's algorithim gives higher rankings to plain text posts compared to posts with links or link to YouTube.
- kspacewalk2 4y agoGaming the algorithm is a noble goal, so I guess I understand it more.
