I don't know much about Twitter, can someone explain why there are two views like this?

Not sure why there are two views, but the 'moments' view is missing a ton of tweets with photos that are included after the last tweet on the moment page. Worth checking out the tweet-stream version.

This version also misses a lot of the really cool other pictures he has inlined. The branded space bar for example

I think the short answer is "Twitter has bad UX".

If you read this one, you really should read what is on Twitter. This one is missing the majority of the tweets.

Holy cow is Twitter ever garbage at showing you anything even slightly more complicated than a single 140 char comment. Threads, stories, conversations, and any other kinds of actual information is a maze of _see_others_ and _see_more_ and broken context. That's partly by design, of course. But it should surprise no one that you can't monetize that very well.

  I don't see what that has to do with monetization, assuming people are indeed still using the service

    They are using the service to go somewhere else and spend their time. That is not monetiszable.

      Google search seems to do OK despite almost exclusively being used to take the user somewhere else

        Thats because Goggle in general make a lot of money from where they send you. Twitter doesn't.

Moments are basically curated collections. The tweets in them don't have to be from the same thread, or even the same user. Here is a Moment with all of the guy's tweets and photos from the thread: https://twitter.com/i/moments/791746773643464704 https://twitter.com/i/moments/791746773643464704

  That should be the linkin the OP, thanks.

  I urge even people who had read through our link to click the above: it includes pictures that aren't in our current link. Dang, or Scott, I encourage you to please change the link from the submitted OP link to the above one! While the submission is exciting to click through one by one (an enchanting story), in fact the missing photos (such as of the actual rooms in question) are too much. I enjoyed both reading experience, but the above one should have been our link.

Thank you. But I'm not sure why did he decide to put it on Twitter in the first place? Clearly, it's a wrong medium to tell an interesting story.
