Public search no longer works. I don't want to have to give Twitter a phone number just to use its search bar.

- suddenclarity 4y agoSounds like a reasonable simple fix to reduce scrapers trying to bypass paying for API. I honestly don't see why Twitter would allow non users to search considering how the service works.
- flangola7 4y agoIt's not about bots it's a brazen money/user data grab. They don't want you to use search unless they have an account to track you with. What other website does that? Not Reddit or Google or Bing or HN or YouTube or GitHub or Twitch or Wikipedia. The bot argument they make is a facade.
