  > I can't browse timelines on X without an account It takes just a few seconds to create an account. >they've blocked all third party apps The first party app works fine for me. >most sites I subscribe to via RSS don't tweet every new post anyway It would be in the best interests of these sites to post about new content on social media themselves for extra visibility. Worst case someone else can repost it on social media for them.

    The speed of creating an account is immaterial when I don't want one, nor do I wish to use their clunky website to read news on. There's no official app for my OS even if I did wish to install one. Posting to a walled garden is certainly not in the best interests of all sites, but offering your readers a way to directly subscribe to feeds in the software of thsir choice as well as whatever social media stuff you're doing is a win all round.

      >The speed of creating an account is immaterial when I don't want one You have a self imposed problem. There is an easy solution, but you are rejecting to use it. >Posting to a walled garden is certainly not in the best interests of all sites What's the downside of doing so then that would make it not in the sites interest.

        No, you're just ignoring most of what I wrote above.
