i don't use twitter that much so i don't know if this type of multi-tweet message is common place on the platform or not. especially for conveying important information in any sort of manner that should be taken seriously.
i recently experienced a ~20 tweet "story" that was explaining a pretty serious and important shift in the posting parties operations. it was the first time i recall ever having encountered this sort of "tweet" and, at least to me, it did not seem like an ideal or effective means of communication.
i get that they want to reach their audience and that's what i feel like twitter is good, well, probably the best at. the whole intent of the platform had always been geared toward sending short, articulate messages. a substance-filled, important message like this one and the one i had to read before no doubt took a few "practice runs in the mirror", so to speak. i read both of these messages from the comfort of my desktop PC using nitter. as difficult as that was, i can't imagine having view it using a phone.
regardless of the topic of the message, my thoughts are, if you have something to say, say it in a single tweet with a link to an officially hosted post or webpage. any more than that, especially on any sort of usual basis, is not only inconvenient for both parties involved, but confusing, unprofessional, and, in a lot of cases, like you said, quite off-putting.

It’s so common there’s bots that place the thread posts on a single page.
