If only it were that easy. Twitter displays a complex mix of follow up tweets and replies from other people, so the follow up can be burried and hard to find. It also may require clicking to load more tweets and there is little indication when there is important information in the replies. There is no way to know if scrolling through the replies will be a worthwhile use of time, or just have useless twitter noise.

This very comment thread is evidence of this. Look at all the people who didn't know that there were infringing binaries, because that is only mentioned in a reply by an obs dev in another tweet.
