You do realize that a twitter thread is about as useful to many people as posting an internal Facebook link these days? To my surprise I can see the post and not a login window as most days, but there are no replies.

Twitter or FB are not the best channel, but it's not easy to gain traction in any medium without a well stablished community, haven't tried other social networks yet, which one do you think could be better ?
I understand the appeal and get myself pulled into it from time to time, but most people probably don't need social media. I'm typing this in the hope that I'll remember it myself too. The social media sites show people with millions of followers which appears appealing because they usually don't do much work for those followers. Basically free sales right? They just type a bit from their toilet. However, it's a power law. Getting to the number 1 inside some niche is extremely hard and requires hard work and some luck.
Can't help you, in this age of current flux I'm just pointing out that what had worked easily for 10+ years is now not so great, and if you are still an active logged-in Twitter user you might not notice. (Sorry for the aside, but I clicked and would have read it, but actually can't anymore after closing my account.)
