It's not about Twitter being popular, it's about your content having organic reach. The liking and retweeting puts the story in front a lot more eyeballs.

On Twitter you get built-in liking, sharing and commenting, people will also DM you with questions, it's all one tap away. If you just post a link to a blog post, almost nobody will click it and read it there.

Is it planned obsolescence or just competing on price? If you try to make something as cheap as possible, you're not optimizing for durability

You're presenting things as facts here, what are your sources to claim something extraordinary like "serious runners die younger"?

Regarding houses: I was referring more to the size of the housing than its materials. Larger housing correlates directly with higher energy use, probably in the form of heating and air conditioning.

That's just not true. The US emits 16 tons of CO2 per capita. For many African countries, that number is 1-2. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_countries_by_carbon_... The greatest polluter is everybody livi
