I guess stuff like this is the heart and soul of geekery "Look! I wrote a tool to use Imgur image descriptions as a very slow and unreliable filesystem!", but this just seems like a perfect example of why the ability to do a thing isn't necessarily a reason to do that thing. Twitter threads are objectively terrible - they are hard to post, hard to read and hard to share; not because of some technical limitation, but because the people who built the tool designed it to resist being used in that way. As long as there's a million places you can post text that's over 140 characters and then link to it from Twitter, this will remain a bad idea - because it's a misuse of a tool that makes it harder to use for both the creator and the consumer, while ignoring that there are trivial ways to avoid the problem entirely.
