This reminded me of how nice it is that Farcaster is less threads and more links to blog posts. https://kevquirk.com/blog/forget-twitter-threads-write-a-blog-post-instead

I'll bite. Why threads are better than blog posts: - constraints breed clarity - every. single. blogger spends 10-110% of time tweaking the blog. rather than writing, cutting excess fat - writer cost - writer time - reader time The OP complained about CONTEXT. But that's a skill issue. A top threadooor makes each standalone tweet punchy and forwardable. tl;dr: thread format forces focus

2/2 also me: blogs > threads - if you have the distribution (some other way), with a blog you can fully own your content - time tradeoff leads to pithy punches rather than reasoned takes - investment tradeoff leads to lower-quality throwaway thoughts - ingesting threads trains your brain to seek sugar highs rather than nutrition - on a short-form content platform, your attention is the product. the platform captures most of that value tl;dr there's a cost to produce high quality content, and blogs lean that way

Maybe. I have not had that experience. But everyone is different. I can write a blog post faster or as fast as a thread and I don’t have trouble with not writing
