Add in the fact that anyone who has ever used Twitter knows that anything which takes a lot of characters to convey either (i) gets abbreviated in a confusing manner (ii) tweet threaded which is a far less user-friendly way of using 280 chars anyway or (iii) a special embedded text image, which again is far from user-friendly when it's just a workaround.

Or, my personal favorite: an embedded image of the Twitter compose dialog with the over-length tweet in it.


Or, my personal favorite of BASE65536 encoded gzipped text.
