Nobody is required to use a given medium in a way that others find "proper" just because they annoy some people. I personally enjoy the stream-of-consciousness feel of this style of self-referential twitter threads for certain types of storytelling or reporting.

I agree there's disparity in artistic prominence here but I was going for more of a metaphor than a comparison.
