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.
What's up with all the social media platforms recently? Really trying their hardest to alienate every user they can...
I think they all fear the AI corporations drinking their milkshake ... but the current social media giants and the ai tools are both squatters who create no value on their own, they both need humans to create real content
We are in the dot-com equivalent era for social media.
Doing everything to get as much money as fast as possible will always lead to this. It's why the economy goes belly up every so often.
I wonder if we can describe the current going-on's as an "internet recession" or maybe even the "digital depression"
interest rates going through the roof, all these companies have to squeeze every penny they can outta people all of a sudden
