I mean, Elon sucks, but I am kind of happy to hear Twitter might fully die. I've always hated the idea of forced character limits.
The world needs more critical and expansive discussion, not additional reasons to summerize and minimize important topics into long headlines.
In the case of longer form thought, Twitter provided links. What’s the problem?
People just like to rage over things on the internet. I suspect they also don't know how to get to the fkn point rather than ramble like they're waxing poetic on a topic. Reddit is full of that shit.
...they said concisely in a short internet comment.
He was free to ramble on for thousands of words though
I feel like there has to be a medium between "Tweets that shoot context in the head" and "Autobiography attached to a macaroni and cheese recipe". The need for sites to keep you there encourages complete nonsense that doesn't contribute to the thing I'm there for, and so turns me away from long form anything. I got shit to do and a thousand articles competing for attention, most of which were written by bots and contain nothing. The whole scheme is just broken.
I feel like I had a thesis when I started this comment and I forgot where I was going...
