Twitter is the worst way to deliver this kind of information.

e: in any case, there are a number of ways of telling this story I can think of that'd be far worse than Twitter, even if I do agree that a series of tweets doesn't feel like the best way of communincating a small blog post. Plus, I feel like you end up with more engagement between the author and commenters on Twitter, such as in [1]

This isn’t tangential annoyance. This is a social media post that was to be treated as an article. If there was a link to a single article that’s what should have been posted.

I agree completly. And i dont think it should be “wrong” to point this out!

Its getting worse nowadays for people who dont have an account. They are adding more “register now!” popups that cannot be closed, etc… Soon you probably will be forced to register to read the linked tweets

It's pretty common on Twitter for anyone making long posts to do this. Scroll to the end if you are looking for that.

There are also dozens of services that roll out tweets and will present them in another format for you. You can see them mentioned in any long tech tweet replies.
