    It’s frustrating, but I’m betting it won’t last. With all the people who only visit twitter via links from other sites (or those embedded tweets in news articles), doing something like this will cause twitter’s page traffic to suddenly implode. Which will cause their advertisement impression statistics to implode. Which will make their paying advertisers explode. And then twitter will roll it back.

    Unless, of course, Elongated Muskrat is intentionally and purposefully trying to completely remove twitter from existence. In which case, this is a pretty clever move.

      trying to completely remove twitter from existence

      I expect that Twitter just wants people to install the Twitter app and get Twitter accounts.

      I suppose that Reddit could do the same thing as well.
