Honestly I don't think that the few "blocked" tweets where you still can't interact with is making a real difference in term of ad monetizable engagement. You will see what will come next and it will be clear. If not for AI indexation, another hypothesis is something like removing the paywall needing an account to access user content or something like that.

These hypotheses are incoherent because they don't stem from any observations, but are trying to work backwards to justify the existence of a hidden agenda.

  For the AI indexation I didn't mean to help third parties read messages, more that for Musk own AI agent to be usable by the Public and able to use or reference tweets, he wouldn't need a shit storm where you use Groq to browse content that is normally blocked to you. Regarding the other hypothesis related to the "sign in" wall, based on number it looks like that this wall is not working anymore to boost users as the number of users is collapsing. So there might be a plan to enlarge "page views" and so user engagement by reopening the Public view of tweets.
