Twitter Implements Mandatory Login Requirement for Viewing Tweets
TL;DR Summary
Twitter now blocks unregistered users from viewing tweets or using the platform at all, a change that was previously possible on a limited basis. It is unclear if this is intentional or accidental, but it may be part of Twitter's push to convert visitors into account holders. The user experience on Twitter has deteriorated over time, leading some users to explore alternative platforms.
