The main reason to do a Twitter thread (which the author alludes to but doesn’t look at enough) is audience. Good thoughts can go viral quickly on social media. The same cannot be said for blog posts (even when shared). This could be speaking to a larger issue but still the case.

As an example, I published this blog post [1] in November of 2019. It was probably read by hundreds to low thousands in about a year.

I then made a twitter thread out of the same content a year or so later [2], it was seen by over half a million people.

This is not to say audience is the only consideration but a combination of a blog post turned thread might be the best way to get audience and an archive.
