The newer tendency to mark threads with numbers so that people at least know there is context to a particular mid-thread tweet seems to help somewhat, but the general problem remains.

It also fascinates me how badly editors' choice of headlines to make people more likely to click can screw up the debate because many people respond to the clickbait headline without clicking, and end up drawing conclusions that aren't at all supported by the article. Presumably this is also a problem on facebook, but I deleted my account there some time ago.
