Does clicking the link and reading it not work? I haven’t logged into X/Twitter in years, and never from the device I’m using right now, and it loads fine. My impression is that X has relaxed some of its restrictions for non-logged-in views.
They "relaxed" it. But i do still face the hard paywall not infrequently. And lately, as with this post, the x button to close the overlay is present. But not clickable. So the soft paywall is hard but "accidentally" So I honestly don't even think you should be giving or asking others to give X the benefit of the doubt.
