Being able to distill a story down into bite sized chunks sounds like an optimization for the younger generation, with their 20 second attention span.

It's not something I necessarily associate with "good writing". Or does the skill transcend the medium and help you write better long form content as well?

Doesn't it boil down to the old "you don't understand it unless you're able to explain it to a 5yo"?

Because if you can do that, you'll also be able to express yourself within character limits

Also - purely because you brought generations up: Twitter is a millennial product. the brainrot Gen is mostly Alpha, and some zoomers.
