Guessing the idea is to expand viewership of the content. Easier for people to share content and stumble upon it when it’s hosted on Twitter versus a blog.

2. Setting up a blog is hard, so much hassle along with maintenance.

3. Writing it on Twitter, especially when you are already on Twitter, has the lowest friction.
