OT but one thing I've noticed is that Twitter has scaled back its aggressive modal/login prompt when viewing the site without being logged in. This seems to have occurred recently. It seems like it would have nothing to do with the acquisition talks but, curiously, it coincided with them.
- runjake 4y agoStill happens here.

- google234123 4y agoSeems the same to me. Maybe A/B testing?

- corrral 4y agoIt's gotten a little worse, AFAI can tell. Every few days I have to re-load the Twitter tabs I've got in private browsing on my phone (without private browsing, the modals have always come much faster, basically as soon as I scroll down) because they start throwing modals. Then they're fine for a few more days. I didn't used to have to reload the page, ever.
- lmc 4y agoThis may be in the middle of an A/B test - I still get pestered every time when in incognito mode.
- prescriptivist 4y agoHuh. I haven't been logged in on any of my devices and I never get pestered. Thanks for the update.
- b65e8bee43c2ed0 4y agoif this is the individual responsible for that shit, I wish him a lifelong career in some other field
- chrsig 4y agoI haven't observed this yet, but it definitely limits my interactions with twitter -- it's a blessing in disguise, really.
- bogomipz 4y agoThis has not been experience at all. I receive this login wall pop up every time I look at Twitter, including today while trying to read this post. I generally look at Twitter once a day for some link that gets sent to sent to me and this is consistently true.
