I know itās ācoolā to be constrained by the character limit, itās supposed to force people to sharpen up their points and yada yada.
But in reality humans donāt think in soundbytes, itās the same reason longform podcasting continues to grow whilst cable news dies - conveying complex ideas with background and overlap isnāt possible in shortform and clearly itās not what people want.
Xitter only allowing longform behind the bluecheck is going to be a big part of its demise. Short-form is 20 years out of date.
Give me a well reasoned and thought out text wall over snot-nosed short paragraph reply guys any day!
