And at least one other comment noted that t.co uses completely different mechanism for redirecting requests from a browser and from curl and has been doing that since forever.
- lapcat 3y agoYou're missing the point, which is that a 5 second delay is added only to some very specific Musk-hated sites, such as Threads, Substack, and until the story blew up in the media, the NYT.
