There is twitlonger for that. But it has the unfortunate side effect of basically being a plain URL, where as images can be read on the site directly.
At some point though someone’s got to understand that the platform is not conducive to sharing longer content. Tweet chains and especially images of text are an accessibility and UX nightmare.
I’m actually getting more annoyed the more I think about it, because I understand why.. but it’s just so wasteful.
Yes. But posting a link to that content will be engaged with less. It will have a smaller audience, thus, people game the system by posting images of text or tweet chains.
All you can do is not support it, one day people might realise that no one is paying attention and there's numerous other options than that horrendous website to say something substantial and have people listen.

Twitter isn't meant for this type of content. If you want to publish an article then do that on a blog and link to it on twitter.

That’s what I’m saying.
