Why do people chain post on microblogging platforms rather than link to a blog post? (lemm.ee)

I'll read long posts in either format, but the fragmented format of chained microblog posts, or threads, is mildly distracting at times.

Because nobody will click on a link to some shitty blog.

With a twitter style format, you see one or two posts and know if you want to read the rest.

You click on a link and there's no telling what kind of shitshow you'll wind up in.
