So today I clicked a twitter link because companies like to use it for official announcements, only to be greeted with a login page. Was annoyed then I remembered nitter exists. It just prompted me to install Privacy Redirect which I should have done ages ago.

Looks like twitter waited for the reddit API changes to do push this change to try to do it under the radar.
Yep. I wonder what this is going to do to their traffic. I know I’m not signing up.
I bet Reddit will follow suit.
If Reddit does this, it would completely erase all their search results in Google along with a very large amount of traffic. So yeah, I hope they do it.
