Hacker News Reader

One great reason is that you need an account on X to read the thread. I deleted my account many months ago, along with many, many other people.

I've just opened https://x.com/dieworkwear in a private browsing window and - from here at least - I don't appear to need an account.

From what I can tell you need an x account to read replies, so I can only see the first tiny bit of the thread without an unroller. (For this thread: https://x.com/dieworkwear/status/1909741170953273353)

Thank you.
