No, Twitter is not a free university. I wouldn't even call it a school.
But it is a valuable source and conduit of education. I've found that Twitter is a resource for people, companies and ideas to watch or research more. I don't use it as a means to learn. Instead it's shown me things that I should research more.
I view it instead as a curator of info that is interesting and useful. It's also a solid platform to learn about your customers.
Great article. I find 90% (maybe more) of threads to be the most surface level commentary out there. The extra insult is the crudely inserted CTA at the end saying "buy my course".
Tweets / threads CAN be insightful like you said, but they also can just be cleverly crafted attention traps.

Yes, the nature of the game is such, I think the algorithm optimizes for clickbait, so that's what most people end up writing there.
For sure! The algorithm sees the engagement and shows the thread to more people outside the poster's followers. Just part of the game I suppose.
