Twitter seems to be in this weird space where they have enough usability positives over other social media (pretty broadly accessible, doesn't pester you to log in, you can post NSFW content without it getting taken down) that I guess people just force themselves to use it, even if a blog post would be better formatted.
I think it’s the combination of feeling easy to do (both UI & not feeling pressure to write a formal essay) and getting immediate feedback. For most people blogging is mostly solitary in comparison.
Twitter does pester you to log in when scrolling down someone's profile, I think. Maybe it was on mobile.
