This is somewhat meta, but linking to an instagram post is terrible, I get immediately redirected to a login page and can't even see the content on Instagram. I do not have an instagram account, nor do I want to create one just to see this. Was there no better place to link to?

  Love it when companies and executives come with subtle titles like "A Note from XXXX", "A sad announcement", "Looking ahead into the future" etc. when they're nothing but just plain layoff notices.

Not only that, it's an image of text. It's incredible that this is still how we're sharing information online in 2022.

This happens more and more when I visit Twitter now, too. _Really_ annoying and I have zero intention of creating an account on either of those sites.

  Reddit also, if it is deemed sensitive.

  Sometimes I click a twitter link on a devices I don't want to login to (work machine). I ended up creating a second account for this exact reason, so annoying.

  With Twitter, I find you can click the log in button, and then there is an X to dismiss the modal with, which then lets you read the page. (And this is absolutely annoying, terrible UX, and I wish to God people would stop putting things on Twitter.)

    The existence of these backdoors is a bad excuse these teams use to justify user-hostile UX. I had no idea this was possible, so for me this might as well have not existed. I simply skipped reading twitter threads when I was on a device I wasn't logged in on.

  if you are using firefox on the desktop you can prevent all cookies for the site than that goes away. Free the browse with no popup for login

  If you use Ublock Origin, you can enable the "annoyances" filter and the Twitter login overlay is removed.
