Yeah, @threadreaderapp



The worst is when lots of people each reply "unroll thread!" to a thread. So much noise and junk.


I detest it for this reason. Well, that and the fact that it's a closed source service leaching off content on another website and slapping ads on top of it. The only thing worse are those awful video downloader bots.

I have opted out and blocked their bot on Twitter which apparently currently suffices to prevent their scraping. I'm more than happy to point anyone who asks to a text file. God, I miss blogs.

Sorry about the rant.


It's unfortunate. I'm guessing it's because people need that dopamine hit of getting a notification, just for them.
