Twitter locked behind login page.

So today I clicked a twitter link because companies like to use it for official announcements, only to be greeted with a login page. Was annoyed then I remembered nitter exists. It just prompted me to install Privacy Redirect which I should have done ages ago.

Looks like twitter waited for the reddit API changes to do push this change to try to do it under the radar.

Yep, every company requires quarterly growth and hitting KPIs, so a bunch of assholes with no moral qualms about it will fuck everything to get higher bonuses.

Its also why everything is subscription based these days.
