Not the op, I don't have any bans, and I'm not normally signed in to Twitter. But a side note on UX here... When I land on this tweet the site takes long enough to annoy me before it loads the content (ie. everything below the "Log In / Sign Up" banner is delayed). When I scroll down past the first few tweets the whole page disappears and is replaced with a nag screen implying I can't see more without signing up and/or downloading the app. Pressing back once bumps me right out of the whole site (back to HN). The behavior is non-deterministic. It worked this way the first few tries (with varying quantities of tweets loaded before the nag screen took over). Then I tried in Incognito mode and it worked, and after that going back to the site without Incognito seemed to fare better (did Twitter finally figure out I don't want to download their app?) Seriously disheartened the majority puts up with this kind of horrible UX. As a content publisher, I don't want readers encountering friction preventing them from digesting my thoughts. As a consumer I want to see the content without hassles. The only party benefitted by their dark pattern is the platform. Not putting users first = opportunity for someone else to do it better and eventually displace your business. I used to respect Twitter engineers and was under the impression they cared about things like load times and user experience. Has the culture changed? Am I just getting old and grumpy?
