    Twitter is surviving because of its addicts. Now, it’s likely to drop its userbase significantly. Plus, Musk restricting people who aren’t logged in from seeing anything makes the website practically irrelevant, and if this is sustained, Twitter will die in a span of months, if not weeks.

      That no public viewing is going to really hit them. When I see that page requesting a login, I nope right out of there. Pinterest is that way too.

      Although the claim is that this is being done because of data scrapers, my guess is the thought process is that people who only have access to 600/day will be jonesing for more Twitter and will pay to have that verified check mark so they can get 6000/day, or that people will suddenly sign up for an account if they can’t view a tweet they’ve been sent a link to. I don’t first either of those things happening though.
