Yeah, just like abuse of photocopiers. They're meant for letter size documents only!

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'm not sure how I feel about comparing a Twitter conversation to Warhol.

Because Warhol was such a stickler for tradition.

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

That would be a good point, if the writer's intention was to create a disjointed slipstream narrative for the readers enjoyment. But it's more likely the writer wanted to tell a straight forward story about lego dongs. Would have been better off writing a blog post.
