I prefer this medium to blogs. And I’m an old beard who reads newspapers and prefers scheduled TV to streaming.
Tweet chains have a rhythm, no ads (with a decent client) and no filler.
Blogs (and worse: podcasts or videos) are full of fluff and filler, and often packed with ads.
- blowski 4y agoIf you want them to be. There are plenty of personal blogs with zero advertising.
- alkonaut 4y agoI don’t follow blogs though (I never understood the rss-blog era). I follow people and sites that aggregate and provide content for me, such as HN or Twitter. So I don’t really control where the blogs are hosted or how much ads they have. So when I see a HN link to Twitter or mastodon, I know what I’m going to get. When I see a link to joes blog dot biz, I’m less sure it’s going to be a good experience.
