How Twitter’s 4,000-word content may impair the user experience
Twitter Blue subscribers now have the option to have all of their tweets in a single post as opposed to threads, which can occasionally be confusing. Previously, Twitter users transformed their tweets into “threads” in order to communicate more detailed messages.
The majority of unskilled users order their tweets randomly to include their opinions in a thread, resulting in a message that is difficult to comprehend.
The new feature that lets you write one tweet with all your thoughts makes writing easy for even new users. Since only 280 characters are available before a “show more” prompt, it avoids confused tweets and timeline disorder.
Due to the fact that non-Blue users cannot utilize this feature and must continue to use threads, the timeline of some users may become even more confusing and monotonous, leading some to feel that the site is fostering isolation.
Paying for something that used to be free has been criticized for promoting classism and unequal consciousness. The Blue Badge was used to protect and identify public figures before now, regardless of their financial status.
The platform’s new “characters” function, which appears to be for paying users, suggests it is becoming a capitalist town hall.
