I'll concede that this specific thread isn't super long but some of the ones I've seen posted here are incredibly long and it's just frustrating to read them in that format.
Though when you consider the length of a tweet in general compared to the length of the thread, I think I would call it long form compared to the medium it's posted on.
I guess I'm just an old man but I truly do not understand why people use twitter for long-form content like this. It's like using the handle of a screwdriver as a hammer. You can do it but it sure isn't optimal. I understand there are a few tools to make it a little better to read, but that's a band-aid on the problem.
So how do you define art? And can you tell it apart from Pornography?
As someone who usually doesn't get art, especially the more traditional forms, looking in to that box a lot of what I see makes no sense to me and some of it I couldn't tell apart from an acclaimed artist and a child.
As far as I can tell Art is whatever a large enough group of people decides is art based on consensus.
Remember when Roger Ebert said that games aren't art?
I think most of the Marvel movies are kind of lame or even actively bad (Guardians of the Galaxy and it's sequel especially), but this is some real Old Man Yells At Cloud stuff and it's sad to see someone so prolific in film (oh wait, CINEMA, excuse me) say something so needlessly elitist. It didn't even need to be said.
I spent several years in both Tier 1 and Tier 2 support for several companies.
Generally speaking, I found companies that failed to provide a high level of support did so not because it was particularly profitable, but because they either A) Wanted to cut costs and off-shore as much of the operations as possible or B) Were struggling financially and unable to support their product
Working as Tier 2 support for Apple I can tell you that I gave away free products (From the Apple Online Store) constantly. I required no approval for products $300 and under in value. The only caveat being that Apple did not give away ANY of its own products. Some days I would give away more money in free products than I made working that day. Apple is doing fantastic financially.
When I worked for Frontier Communications (Who are currently being investigated on a few fronts for failing to maintain their network and refused to take questions from investors at their last quarterly earnings call) I was basically unable to help anyone who called in unless their problem was user error. Any customer who had an issue with something on our end was basically given the shaft.
I've had much more middle of the road experiences as well, but those are the two polar opposites that I've had in my early working experience.
