Is the suggestion here that Twitter now requires a login to even view a tweet?
It's not a suggestion. It's what they're doing right now.
My statement is use of speech clarifying what @rooster_[email protected] is communicating, and its been confirmed as "yes".
can you also tell me in what universe this wouldnt be a shotgun to the ~~knee~~ face?
Musk's delusional one, apparently.
That's what I'm experiencing. Every tweet and even going to the main url results in a redirect to a log in splash page.
Well if that's the case Twitter is as dead to me.
Spez has talked about how he's trying to model Reddit on Musk's "success" with Twitter.
It would be hilarious if Musk set up Spez to take the publicity fall to cover Musk's plan to force Twitter for authenticated consumption only.
Why does there always have to be a secret play involved with musk? Can’t they just both be incompetent at leading a social media company? This is just another example of Hanlon‘s Razor…
People have a hard time with the fact that the richest man in the world isn't a genius.
I remember when the richest man in the world was the guy that invented the Blue Screen of Death.
Maybe not a secret play but definitely a dick move by Elon that surely benefits him.
Twitter is way more prominent than reddit. I doubt that there's a secret plan
If anything, Splez is too dense to notice that Musk seems to be intentionally/unintentionally ruining Twitter. It's really hard to imagine how someone could look at "ad revenue down 70%" and think wow, that's what we need to emulate!
To second this, it seems to be happening to me today too, as of this morning.
Yep. I wonder what this is going to do to their traffic. I know I’m not signing up.
I bet Reddit will follow suit.
