Yeah you're right. It's just been driving me crazy for a while now.

It just feels so clunky. It feels very self-gratifying.

Part of my point is you typically only see this from folks who have a large amount of followers. Of which, a good percentage would be happy to click on a link to writing from someone they're ibterested in.

Seems like they are doing it because they enjoy the reaction from their follower base on the platform.

Don't make us try to follow a 1000 word thesis, in disjointed, 240 character increments... which might all have their own chain of comments.

Let us read the whole argument uninterrupted, & comment @ the end together. I'm only saying the platform isn't suited for long form ideas & discussion.

Again, sorry for ranting. Maybe I'm just in a mood tonight haha.

I think that's reversed. They gathered a following by posting this way.
