I don't have any problems with Twitter threads. Why don't you like them? I can consume them easily on mobile and on my desktop.

On the other hand I think apps that unroll threads are the worst. All the spammy answers just saying "@threadreaderapp" or something like that - THAT is the worst in my eyes.

Nothing against blog posts, I'd also prefer a blog post over a Twitter thread.

Agreed, I wish Twitter would just crack down on that and ban bots like that.

I'd prefer if twitter just made its interface not terrible so that there'd be no need for threadreaderapp.

I'm not a fan of Twitter threads but the interface got a lot better since they added proper threading. Adding x/x identifiers isn't really necessary any more and reading is a much better experience than it used to be.

I'm almost convinced that people just post the @threadreaderapp unroll for engagement.

Better than it used to be is not a very high bar to clear.

As a reader, I actively seek the threadreaderapp posters and follow these links to improve the reading experience. Or just go to nitter since I discovered that it's a thing.
