It's not like it was only on Twitter.

The thread there mentions a blog[1], that mentions a book, which I was unable to find.

> Why was this on Twitter?

Because that's where the eyeballs were. It's really not hard once you get over your own hatred for something everyone else enjoys. I don't use Twitt...er, X, but I understand why others do. Your unwillingness to see the same point is just going to continue to be a source of frustration for you.

Specifically, it's where the technical-creative eyeballs were, which is why twitter was such a weird and magical place. That and the algorithm that amplified anger at outrage, but mostly, well at least partly, it was the people.

Because a great many people do just that to great success on that platform. Why wouldn't they want to reach the most people possible, regardless of niche? Crazy how people would cut off their nose just to spite their face.

Twitter is just another blogging platform, but with more than half a billion users. So, why not?

FWIW, that wasn’t yet the case in 2020.
