I really like this analogy as it gives a different perspective. Thanks for that.
In fairness to me though, I never told anyone to change - I simply gave my opinion then questioned why people find it useful and get value from it.
Though, in fairness to ljf, your tl;dr at the top says "Please stop; write a blog post instead."
I'd love to move all my contacts to a new service, but if I went off and blogged they are unlikely to follow me and as I can tell from my tweets, are unlikely to click on the links I post already.
All locations and services have their downsides, but I try to turn to the one where I'll have the most reach and personally get value from replies. In truth that means I do most of my 'story telling' face to face or on WhatsApp to closed groups or individuals ;)
