Twitter's thread/reply API has been changed a lot. It definitely works better now.

I will also be honest, Talon basically isn't really updated any more.

I remembered the last time I used it, it has a bug that it will always re-save/re-compress the image when you download, which is very easy to fix, but the author didn't do anything about it. I just checked, the bug is still there..

They need users, they rather avoid non-users that just want the content.

Twitter is a private company but it has also become a public space for political discourse.

The need for profits and open free speech are butting heads.

Thinking that it was intentionally made broken, or deliberately broken at some point is rather presumptuous. As has been said before, don't assume maliciousness when incompetence is a better explanation.

That said, I would buy that ignoring and any fix for it is deliberate.
