This is just going to lead X into a more long-winded troll/political debate center IMO

I've got nothing to back this up, but I wonder if the people drawn into those debates would even want longer-form content?

Maybe it's easier to spot gaps in their arguments when they're longer, and the short, emotionally-charged posts just grab them. Then again, longer posts may give them room to lay out their world view, and to reinforce key talking points and specific language.

Who knows! Some of the academics I follow for my research look at semantics and sentiment, but I can't say post length comes up too often.

mmmmm I like this form of content, not sure X is the place for it though.

Medium or just about is my go to for a longer form read on a topic I’m interested in aka gaming.

Medium was actually started by one of the main people behind Blogger... Who then went on to helm Twitter...

Anyway... The person behind Medium got stabbed in the back by Jack Dorsey and the rest of the board, and then got booted out of Twitter.

Ah, the irony! Twitter was a pioneer of 'short' content with 140 (?) symbols limit, but now they are going back

It's a strange move to make! At least it might have its own feed, so their users don't have to engage with it...for now! 😝

I read the book 'Hatching Twitter'... Honestly, Twitter (before its buyout) was full of people that routinely engaged in stabbing each other in the back. No wonder it ended up getting an awful reputation.
