They shouldn't index stuff with a login or pay wall anyway, or should put it in a separate tab of the results or something (that is, other than in countries where they were forced to).
- flangola7 4y agoAgreed but Twitter isn't a paywall.
- mcherm 4y agoNot yet.
- sva_ 4y agoOne good change that happened on Twitter recently is that the login nagscreen now has a close-button.
- consumer451 4y agoBut tweets are on the public web without login.
- cma 4y agoIt changes over time, sometimes there will be a dismissable popup, for a while it couldn't be dismissed. It does seem to work now for non-nsfw tweets, but nsfw login-walled ones are indexed by Google too I believe.
- BelleOfTheBall 4y agoSpecific tweets, yes, but if you want to scroll a person's profile, you'll need an account after about a page of scrolling.
- heywhatupboys 4y agono, just close that popup? if it even appears... when is the last time you've used twitter
- BelleOfTheBall 4y agoLogged out - about two weeks ago, couldn't close the pop-up, no X button. Perhaps it was changed recently but doing it on mobile was simply not an option for a long time.
- NoZebra120vClip 4y agoPart of my job involves investigating stuff that's often behind a paywall, but the paywall is leaky enough that Google Search displays snippets of what I'm looking for in the results. So I'm often grateful to see these paywalled results come back because it means I've hit paydirt, and if Google weren't indexing the snippets, I would have no visibility into this stuff, and it'd be a huge hindrance to me.
- bdcravens 4y agoUnder the same standards, HN (and many other sites) wouldn't be indexed either.
- cma 4y agoHN doesn't have a login wall to read anything.
