Why must every single tweet posted in HN have (usually multiple) comments like this? It's a different way to communicate, just get over it, skip twitter submissions, or use one of many thread unroll apps.

It's more about how such an objectively bad interface can be so popular.

I'm genuinely curious if there is something good here that I am missing.

And no, I'm not going to just get over it or install another app to compensate for it.

> objectively bad interface

Does such a thing exist? What is objectively bad about twitter's interface? I just think it's made for one thing (close to real-time communication), and you think it's should be good for another (review of old content).

It fails at real time communication compared to competitors in that space (every chat client).

I don’t think anyone uses Twitter as a chat client nor does it try to be one primarily.

You’re confusing objectivity with subjectivity.
