I never have any problem viewing a single tweet on Twitter without logging in, sans ones that are marked "NSFW". Can you please explain what you see that are "

  Every time you try to see the link you get after a few seconds a window: "See what’s happening Join Twitter to get the full story with all the live commentary." And you have two options SignUp, Login, or F#^&^#@&^ :-) Now if you don't see it, because you have script blockers, that is a recognition of the interface hostility.

    I see that, but that doesn't affect me to see the tweet in anyway [1], does it? [1] https://i.imgur.com/tfEwSgT.png https://i.imgur.com/tfEwSgT.png

      I am not talking about the one at bottom, but the annoying popup... "Twitter disables browsing without an account" - https://www.reddit.com/r/assholedesign/comments/p62que/twitter_disables_browsing_without_an_account/ https://www.reddit.com/r/assholedesign/comments/p62que/twitt...

  Huh, I've had Twitter repeatedly prompt me to log in, fail to load tweets and misbehave in all kinds of other ways. However, even if Twitter didn't have a history of such problems, having to click an extra link is annoying to the majority of users, which is part of why the HN Guidelines say to always link to the original source: > Please submit the original source. If a post reports on something found on another site, submit the latter. https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html
