It made more sense to post it on a forum. Now it's the opposite. The only way to have people engage with your ideas is by content-ifying it. And you can get money out of it now, too, as with algorithms that improve discovery of small creators, everyone has reason to follow this path
Lots of confounding issues - forums have died, CONTENT has risen, people hate interacting with strangers without derailing everything over Palestine or whatever.
The current ecosystem means the same thoughts will be rewarded better if packaged as CONTENT.
