It's very painful to follow a conversation on Twitter. I'm not sure why they think the way they've done things makes sense.

I think they A/B'd some UI and found that the confusing UI gets more clicks. Users are clicking around randomly trying to find context for the conversation, and that's "engagement".

I'm pretty sure the context isn't there in many cases, although I haven't figured out the rules exactly.
