Totally agree, why do people keep using the 'tweet' format for long stories that obviously do not fit? The reading experience is not good at all. Not trying to be negative am genuinely interested in the reasons.
because that's where their readership is and that's where they're likely to be discovered by more readers? I dont like the format but I don't think the 'why' is a mystery at all.
So why not just post a link elsewhere for things that don't fit? It just seems strange to me, that people put up with the limit making the reader's experience worse, just to have the words on a particular platform.
