Tell HN: Elon Musk Removes Login Prompt for Twitter
- bgoldste 4y agoI hope other social media companies follow suit. As someone who tries to stay off social media as much as possible, I find those login walls really annoying. On the flip side, they help keep me more fully off of those sites..
- hungbox 4y agoHe's doing frontend web development now too? Truly a man of Starkian intellect.
- MBCook 4y agoYou mean the thing where Twitter used to constantly nag people to login? Ok. That’s less user hostile. But is that really worthy of a discussion?
- geoah 4y agoThe less sites use such dark patterns the better. And a beads up is nice so people like me who avoided clicking twitter links because I couldn’t be bothered with their gated content might give it another shot. Now if reddit does the same it would be great!
- BulgarianIdiot 4y agoIf we have to be objective, that's a positive step. Of course, coming on the whim of a mercurial CEO, he may re-add it tomorrow.
- sourcecodeplz 4y agoOf course it is. Geez.
- ZeroGravitas 4y agoSomeone claimed he'd already removed it a while back, then I saw it again. Possibly it's just not consistent (and/or broken)?
- vdfs 4y agoNote that if you are using uBlock Origin some lists might actually be the ones removing that login screen
- 32gbsd 4y agoDespite what people say about him; hes doing gods work.
- krapp 4y agoWhat god? Loki? Mammon? Azathoth?
- hobbitstan 4y agoGeorge Hortz said that was one of the first things he wanted to get rid of so maybe it’s not Elons win.
- BulgarianIdiot 4y agoBecause of course George Hotz decides alone to do that without asking anyone...
