fascinating to see an OG farcaster trend, screenshot essays, rapidly emerge on X. on FC, these initially surfaced due to (imo) a subpar threading experience and limited characters. on X, these surface due to subpar external link experience despite superior threading experience and unlimited characters. thoughts?

first platform I noticed screenshot essays on was actually Instagram, with the "create" feature allowing a text-only post on stories people crave substance, but like a more casual representation than a perma-linked blog post

yes, but instagram is inherently an image-first platform where a screenshot essay as a shareable image is far superior to the UX of a long caption whereas both X and FC are text-first platforms where screenshot essays are not the norm (esp when they're much longer than what would fit in a square image like OG IG)
