Tweet a summary, supply a link. Discussion can take place on Twitter, but I won't have to use those thread unrollers (or rollers, I don't know) to emulate a functioning article.


I don't disagree that this would be more desirable, but then we are asking people to find a place to write their long-form content. For a lot of people, anything more complicated than a text message is too much - just keeping it real here.


Having just registered a substack in ~25 seconds just to see how long it takes, I struggle to imagine that such people, doubtless numerous in the general population, have the capacity to produce Twitter threads or articles that add particularly valuable insight on any topic of interest (to me, anyway). I genuinely don't know how it can be any simpler to do. Signing up for an email account is far more complicated.
