Twitter threads seem awful for long form content. I have never seen long form content on Twitter that I could be sure I'd seen the way the author intended.

As a light user of Twitter (and not at all at the moment, i don't have an account) the character limit for tweets felt like a good thing.

The tweet threads are not terrible, but are inconvenient enough for people to be succinct as possible. Now there are walls of text from blue check marks that like the sound of their own voice far more than their content is insightful.

Sure I've read interesting long tweets, but I'd rather have a link to another site meant for long form writing than it living on Twitter, doubly so now as what bits of good content there were are behind a login wall.

But i get it, Elon needed something to make the blue check "worth it".
