And I agree with you, not for reasons as deep as this but just because a professional thread writer sounds like something you would hear in a psych ward
Well said. I think the people who genuinely have a problem with this are those who have branded themselves as "professional thread writers". Hence, I hate it when young writers, especially those in the crypto industry, are taught one rule- "have a great hook".
Basically, just people regurgitating already known information but in a different way.
This really resonates with me. I always thought of writing as the ability to put personal opinions into words beautifully, so readers could not only grasp what the writer was saying but also feel how it was said. For me, writing was always an art, never an angle, never something rushed.
But my experience in CT made me question that view. There, writing often feels less about craft and more about strategy: hooks, algorithms, quick engagement.
What I’m starting to see, though, is that it’s not necessarily about one replacing the other, but about intention. Writing for expression leans toward art; writing for persuasion leans toward marketing. The real challenge, and maybe the opportunity, is finding ways to blend both: to bring storytelling and nuance into product-focused writing, so it carries more weight than just marketing tactics while still holding on to the foundation of the artisan and making use of the tools of the technician.
You are absolutely right. The ultimate goal isn't for the artisan and the technician to be at war. The real challenge, and as you perfectly stated, the real opportunity, is for the artisan to learn how to wield the technician's tools without sacrificing the soul of the work.
It's about bringing the nuance and storytelling into the marketing, not letting the marketing tactics strip the nuance out of the storytelling.
You know I so much agree with everything you said. And I have to accept thread writing as it is!
Thank you!
Thread writing is good nonetheless. A nice to have in your toolset. But not an identity/niche.
Argument or not
This is a great, very respectful article
I can't say the same for the writer
And I agree with you, not for reasons as deep as this but just because a professional thread writer sounds like something you would hear in a psych ward
Now I have good reasons to back my stand.
Thank you 🫡 Outis, You insult, troll and Educate
lmfao at psych ward.
And idk what you're talking about my person.🙂↔️
Also, you're welcome 🫡
I agree with you
when you focus on craft itself, you’re not tied to one platform,you carry your value anywhere.
Skills outlast platforms.
Bingo!
Thank you.
We need to value the timeless skill of writing over platform-specific trends.
100%

You get me!
Writing was never is about how much you can manipulate a reader.
Loved reading this. I've never understood why someone would say they're a "professional thread writer" doesn't make sense.
😄😄
Gotta call it what it is.
Thank you for reading 🙏

This just hits the nail on its head.
I've always known they are different but how to explain it has always been a problem.
Thank you so much for this, Outis.
I'll take my corrections and lessons therein.
Thanks Davy, and thank you for reading! 🙏
