People would be less inspired to read the essay I'm linking to if I said "here are some brain farts on X" or "here are some blurbs for X"

At magazine we work for, we've consistently found that twitter threads + link get more readers than "great essay" + link

I agree it is better to have a thread. Like "I'm still thinking about Robin Ganev's essay..." and then what you said, for example.

Disagree. If you mention essay in first tweet it turns readers off. You need appetizer before meal. That's based on doing many of these

"Robin Ganev had some great thoughts about the nativist bias in THT."

That's virtually the same as my tweet #6. I put it at the end for a reason, which is to send reader, after appetizer, to essay.

You called someone's thoughts your own and then credited them later. That's weird, right?

I think you are thinking of "thoughts" in academic sense (original contribution to knowledge) & not vernacular one (brain farts).

I'm thinking of the kind of thing the tweets being introduced express.

I'd be very surprised if anyone gives my tweets more than a brief glance, whereas those who read the essay will spend time with it.

People often remember things they gave a brief glance to.

Having written many, many tweets and many, many essays, in my experience essays stay in readers minds longer. Trick is to get them to read.
