No, you&#x27;ve got my point backwards:<p>Absent external effects, it&#x27;s easier to write a long message than write concisely.<p>Twitter in its current form imposes an artificial cost on long messages, which encourages you to do the extra work to write something short.<p>Remove that cost, and you&#x27;ll get more lazy, long messages.<p>That&#x27;s my theory, anyway.
