Because Twitter posts consisting of YouTube links die quickly. It’s very obvious once you have a few thousand followers.
replyYour option is basically either upload to twitter, or put the YouTube link at the end just before a screenshot. Or both a video and a YouTube link, I suppose.
If you trigger their YouTube embed, it seems like it gets penalized quite harshly. I’ve seen other people agree with the sentiment.
Twitter posts never die if you never post to Twitter in the first place.
replyJust don't use a Twitter post as your demo video in the GitHub readme. I don't care what someone does on Twitter - I never go there. But you can just embed a .gif or .webm in your readme or link to YouTube there.
replyWhat does it mean for a post to die, and why is that bad?
