I went to https://twitter.com/ and only got the login page. You can see individual posts without an account, but most other read-only functionality is hidden behind the login wall.
And thank god for not having those spam links to nitter after every twitter post on hn anymore.
Let's do the same to twitter links and get rid of them too, please. Without nitter links, twitter links are completely useless to those of us who would rather not have a Xitty account.
Which is not twitter(X) and supports OPs complaint. Paywalls/login walls are everywhere, even if they're gating botspam garbage.
