I'm wondering: IS there a way to get to that video from the linked tweet without being logged in? I could not figure it out. Thank you for your service of providing the video.

  Yep! For now at least: 1. Copy the ID at the end of the URL 2. Replace the xxxxx in this URL[1] with the ID you just copied 3. Go visit the new URL you just created So in this case, the bypass URL would be [2] [1] https://platform.twitter.com/embed/Tweet.html?id=xxxxx https://platform.twitter.com/embed/Tweet.html?id=xxxxx [2] https://platform.twitter.com/embed/Tweet.html?id=1762974846487531834 https://platform.twitter.com/embed/Tweet.html?id=17629748464...

    Or just "yt-dlp <url>" yt-dlp ( https://github.com/yt-dlp/yt-dlp https://github.com/yt-dlp/yt-dlp ) still works pretty well at the current state of Twitter.

They simply used the wrong link, its not really a lack of account or hostile UI

  not being able to view a post that a linked-post is replying to is a hostile UI

    Can you imagine HNers in any other context defending a change from entirely open to mostly closed that was made purely to force people to create accounts / boost ad revenue?

I wish people didn't post twitter links to HN. They're almost always useless now you have to have an account.

  I wish people didn't use Twitter links at all. They almost never convey real information, just a quick opinion. If they're useful at all, it's to point to a real article or study or whatever, so just point to the real ultimate source. Zvi's blog is infuriating for this. He seems to think the whole world revolves around Twitter.

  I’ve never upvoted a Twitter submission – even if provokes a good discussion on Hacker News. I don’t think Twitter is conducive to meaningful discourse and I don’t want to promote it. Since they renamed to X, the situation has only worsened with its user-hostile UI and required logins.
