The Twitter essay is my least favorite thing about the future we live in.

Seriously. You can set up a blog in under a minute these days. There's no excuse.
the other sad reality is that on mobile, the number of people who read the tweets is arguably going to be higher than people who click to the blog, and a spam of tweets attracts attention and audience. I can't remember the study, but people are generally rather unlikely to navigate out of an app to read something, hence everything having a built in browser.
Unfortunately I'm betting a twitter essay gets more eyeballs than it loses.
