It is often said that constraints affect creative production, both in termsof form and quality. Online social media platforms frequently imposeconstraints on the content that users can produce, limiting the range ofpossible contributions. Do these restrictions tend to push creators towardsproducing more or less successful content? How do creators adapt theircontributions to fit the limits imposed by social media platforms? To answerthese questions, we conduct an observational study of a recent event: onNovember 7, 2017, Twitter changed the maximum allowable length of a tweet from140 to 280 characters, thereby significantly altering its signature constraint.In the first study of this switch, we compare tweets with nearly or exactly 140characters before the change to tweets of the same length posted after thechange. This setup enables us to characterize how users alter their tweets tofit the constraint and how this affects their tweets' success. We find that inresponse to a length constraint, users write more tersely, use moreabbreviations and contracted forms, and use fewer definite articles. Also,although in general tweet success increases with length, we find initialevidence that tweets made to fit the 140-character constraint tend to be moresuccessful than similar-length tweets written when the constraint was removed,suggesting that the length constraint improved tweet quality.
