First, love the videos and other work you've been doing. The micrograd videos are a great way to show people this is all math in the end, and I've linked to specific timestamps in that video and others more times than I can count.

For why I think we have a anti-twitter bias...

Twitter doesn't show replies or any further context without being logged in. Most people will have accounts but I know a lot here deleted theirs or refuse to use it for one reason or another.

Also IMO most here are going to want to read the full source so it just cuts out the middleman. This would usually fall under the "Please submit the original source. If a post reports on something found on another site, submit the latter." guideline which is a little different since the source is yourself, but still the Twitter post doesn't add anything new or novel.

fwiw I totally understand the sentiment! it's actually a bit sad to me that so much of our content is moving from the shared, open web to platforms like twitter, unfortunately there seems to be too much value add around built-in discoverability, comments, ease of authoring, for many people revenue sharing, etc.

Yes, definitely. I had to double check your age (apologies! feels rude somehow) and yep, we're basically the same age. The web was different back then. Maybe not better; maybe that's nostalgia. But never before has more creators had as many tools and avenues to promote and monotonize their work as they do now.
