But if people are only reading on social media, then they will only see it when someone else posts it there (e.g. a newspaper). Or I’ll read it from a newspaper and it’s still filtered through someone’s perspective, unless it’s an op ed. To reach people directly, you need people to be regularly checking wherever you post.

Something can be a highly currated narrative and be accessible to everyone. Shit, people even have web browsers on their phones and computers these days. Social media in general, and Twitter in particular, does not encourage the creation of highly currated narratives.

You can use the word “should” all you want, but the fact is that Twitter is where most people are today. And when you’re trying to your message out, that matters.
