Has someone written an extension to aggregate tweets into 1 large tweet yet?

Dunno about an extension but there are apps

nitter.com is an alternative ui that shows the whole thread on one page without needing js
The correct link seems to be nitter.net
Whoops
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.
