Such an overreaction. Some people prefer not to read Twitter threads as individual posts. This is merely an option provided for those people.

No need to get your knickers in a twist over it. The original link remains in the original post, as clickable/tappable as ever it was.

That's great, but Twitter already does that by default. Is this about padding between paragraphs (in the CSS sense)?

Twitter's threading can be a bit weird. Sometimes it will only capture part of a thread.

People are in the habit of not relying on it.

The twitter link doesn't work with js disabled unless you turn your browser into a bot via user agent switching.

But the thereaderapp link works perfectly fine without any js while simultaneously stripping out all the other garbage inherent on twitter like advertising, "discussion", or "related" content.
