Same. I like reading both long form and short form content. Twitter threads like this one remind me of a slideshow, with each tweet trying to make a single point.
Honestly I don’t get the hate. If you don’t like a certain format, don’t read it. Or use other tools that condense the format (like the threadroller app).
Especially when experts from other domains use this format to explain the nuances of eg a new paper, discovery, policy or political position, this kind of format has a extremely low barrier of entry, is standardized and available on a platform that loads rapidly and without (too) invasive ads. It also allows for asking questions or making comments really easily.
