Twitter appears to be restricting access to its platform for anyone not logged into an account.

These platforms are really trying to push users away, aren’t they…

    I don’t think it is that they are trying to push users away, but they are desperate to do anything to boost the user base as it otherwise shrinks due to their decisions.

    They are trying to push scrapers away, or at least have them pay. That way they get a piece of the AI boom.

    However, they haven’t thought the effect on users and the platform through.

      Yes, that was my thought as well. Thank goodness for vxtwitter. I’m writing a bit for Discord that will fix Twitter links to use it so that tweet previews still work.
