Given how Twitter doesn't allow you to see anything without an account now, this link is essentially useless. It's just someone stating a contextless opinion, which is guess is what the original Twitter was.
- valianteffort 3y agoBy that logic every WSJ and Forbes post is useless as well since they require a paid subscription to read more than a couple articles (if not immediately). At least you can register a twitter account for free, with a throwaway email, in a few seconds.

- jauntywundrkind 3y agoThere are numerous common paywall dodgers available for everything I run across on this site. I understand changing the useragent to GoogleBot used to route around Twitter's new silliness, but as someone on mobile, the mainstream browsers block extensions, alas. I'm not sure what good bypass options there are. The requirement for articles to have a bypass option is in the HN faq: It's ok to post stories from sites with paywalls that have workarounds.
