I don't understand.
There are some handy mechanisms you can use on Twitter to filter and curate what you get to see.
You can mute any word or hashtag you want.
You can create lists containing specific people or orgs you'd like to keep up with.
Occasionally something slips through the cracks but nothing is perfect.
With those mechanisms in mind though, Twitter is pretty hackable. You can get it into a state where you can still consume things you're interested in. And if you don't want to give ad impressions you can access it with a browser that can block ads.
- refulgentis 3y agoThey're saying: I don't read Twitter anymore [because I don't want to get a log in and now it requires a login]
- spike021 3y agoYou're right. I'd just figure at that point it's not that complicated to get a random spam email box just to create an account with.
- jasonfarnon 3y agoThey don't ask for a phone #? I would consider making an account or two in that case. If only because many services that start out requiring only an email end up requiring a phone # (like google did) and those old anonymous accounts become useful.
- piperswe 3y agoIn my experience, they do indeed ask for a phone number.
- marssaxman 3y agoThey will also demand your phone number, by pretending to politely request it, then insta-banning your account if you decline.
