Twitter only shows you direct link tweets now, when not logged in.
It's not super clear if this is a genius monetization strategy or just a bug.
Best theory I've heard is that they wanted to block access to everything, but that broke a bunch of their own systems that depended on that access, so they were forced to restore access to the tweet itself and then just silently cut off access to the rest of the thread, with no real indication that they are doing so. So it's 50/50 monitization and bug at the moment.
