Opposing view - I really like it. Each tweet is a reasonable succinct piece of information that stands on its own. For me, it doesn't feel like a commitment to read like a medium article does.

Very similar to how I find movies hard to watch because of the length, but will happily binge a TV series.

You mean like paragraphs? What's the difference?

Is it that the platform forces people to have reasonably sized paragraphs in the form of tweets?

Not my preference, I prefer reading twitter for shorter, more 'one off' type of thoughts. I find the UI, comment threads, lots of buttons, etc. to be very distracting. For long form ideas, I prefer a more plain text approach.

But I acknowledge it is just a preference. It's interesting to hear other people say otherwise.
