The point of contention here is not that OP doesn't like this kind of verification, but that he believes that Twitter is making up the sign in attempt to get OP to actually log in and report higher usage metrics in Q3.
I don't think OP opposes 2FA, at least not from the info he posted.
There's no way a campaign like this is going to growth users use metrics in a significant way to cheat a quarterly report
I agree, I'm just explaining OP's logic
From a conspiracy standpoint, so what?
“Numbers go up” doesn’t really work here. Fidelity isn’t going to upgrade Twitter’s value from any of this. Even if we assume it’s a drummed up attempt, it gains Twitter nothing we don’t agree to give Twitter by using the platform.
I totally agree, just explained OP's point
