There are plenty of short witty responses on Reddit-like platforms too, but I think the context influences what people upvote/like. On Twitter, you only see the tweet and the response, but on reddit-like platforms you see the original topic and responses, before scrolling down to see a specific response.
I never said there are no short, witty responses. I‘m saying the majority/most upvoted total imo are the long, great explanations.
I agree that the design influences this.
