The dopamine hit from click the send button can help overcome the ADHD tendency to wander off task. Plus, even if you have half an essay posted to Twitter and still get bored, it's much more difficult to just leave it halfway finished than to leave an unposted blog post in your drafts. And besides that, I'm really not sure why people get so upset at people putting content into the world. Wasn't the point of the internet to make it easier for people to share their knowledge with the world?


Personally I don't care too much.

But on the other hand I have ADD and there's a chance I get bored with a twitter thread and move on before finishing it while a blog post allows me to keep it open in a tab and read it in steps.
