What users are going to be left at this rate? If you can't even view Twitter without being on a logged in account, that will heavily reduce people linking to tweets even more. Instead, more people will use screenshots and traffic will continue to plummet.

If I know anything about people, its that the vast majority would rather eat a footlong turd than change their habits - and people can get used to ANYTHING.

Most heavy users of Twitter, reddit, whatever won't even notice. They just want dopamine.
