As a small complication: I have a twitter account, doubt I've ever tweeted. I browse twitter quite often, but I'm _never_ logged in.
No idea if I should be counted or not in any particular bucket, or how anyone would know.
- dan1234 4y agoI thought they used a banner that pretty much forced you to log in to see more than the first few tweets in a thread now (same as instagram)? I have an account that is logged in, but it has only sent 7 tweets since 2014 (and they're only to customer service accounts).
- kadoban 4y agoIt doesn't seem to. A few months back it was ~forcing for a bit so I moved to nitter.
- natch 4y agoWhat client are you using that allows you to browse without logging in?
- pseudo0 4y agoOpening a Twitter link in a private tab is the low complexity solution, or there's nitter.net, or deleting cookies, or various browser extensions that delete cookies for you.
- kadoban 4y agoI had no idea it was so strict. I just use Firefox. Their cookie behavior must be picky enough that it bypasses whatever nonsense Twitter is doing?
- pseudo0 4y agoAfter posting that, I went back and retested. It looks like they have swapped back to a soft nag popup. For a few months it was hard blocking any further scrolling, at least with Chrome.
- kadoban 4y agoThat's quite possible, I did move to nitter for a while, some months back, due to that.
- kadoban 4y agoFirefox :shrug: . It's never forced me. When it gets too annoying trying to push me to login I move to nitter.
- recursive 4y agoPrivate browsing mode ("incognito" in Chrome)
- HWR_14 4y agoAFAIK, you're not counted in any bucket. That's one reason TWTR wants you to log in to read. So active user numbers go up.
