In a 2019 interview, a "Playboy" interviewer said "Abramson helped pioneer the literary form of the Twitter 'thread'" and, speaking of his 2018 book "Proof of Collusion", credited "the eccentric New Hampshirite" for "his meticulous attention to the evidence of Trumpworld’s alleged collusion with the Kremlin." Avi Selk of the "Post" wrote that Abramson became "virally popular by reframing a complex tangle of public reporting on the Russia scandal into a story so simple it can be laid out in daily tweets." His style of writing was described as "left-brained gonzo."
