I totally disagree with your point. Yasmine resulted in a lot of dialogue on this topic. Perhaps people learned things, perhaps people became more educated. Why can’t Yasmine express her views in a witty interesting way? If you think she’s wrong, why not address the substance of her point?
I’m just disgusted by the culture where something “has” to have a punchline to be a relevant topic of discussion. We can’t just say, hey let’s talk about this. No, someone or something has to be demonstrated to be foolish/absurd. It prempts controversy and makes everything prefomative.
I agree that I am not a fan of this format, but the original comment implied skepticism about the information because of the format, rather than merely expressing discontent with the format.
Yasmine said that?!? This changes everything. I don’t form opinions until it’s in a tweet and reposted somewhere else.
The most important part is the argument must have a punch line. I can’t do anything until I hear the punch line.

… I dont doubt the information is correct but this tweet is a useless memeified “hot take”.

I wrote it. That was your interpretation.
The exclamation was sarcasm, as if, I knew or cared who “Yasmine” was.
It’s ok to not understand something as it written but don’t tell me what I was trying to imply.
