That’s partly because twitter is just about the worst possible place to have a detailed conversation on an issue, really just about any issue.
I have no idea why anyone of any level of technical sophistication or containing halfway decent communication skills makes the attempt. Choose a free blog, write something more substantive, and write a succinct Twitter post to get people aware of it. Or at least do that at the same time you post a balkanized “thread” like the author here and link to the more substantive post in the process.

- theshrike79 4y agoThus: link to random blog from social media.
- mattl 4y agoPeople don’t click as much either.
- ineedasername 4y agoThen it’s better to post nothing than something that could be misleading. Or still post the link to a better blog post and if people don’t click then that’s on them, and least the author has put a more comprehensive argument together. Otherwise why bother writing up research either? People might just read the abstract. Why bother watching a full baseball game? You can just get the condensed highlights and winner afterwards. Why bother watching a movie? You can watch the trailer for a lot of the great bits and then read a synopsis online. Plenty of people actually do those things and I guess that’s okay too but there value and good reason to put out the whole product too.
