"Twitter has a problem with foreign entities using bots to create new accounts and scraping (copying) large scale data from user accounts.
The new rules don’t affect your browsing or posting features on Twitter. They simply limit how many posts you can access based on the age of your account and if you pay for a subscription.
New accounts are severely limited so they can only scrape a small amount of data, making it less worthwhile.
As soon as the coders have measures in place to stop bot scraping they will normalize access."
I used to be able to click on a link and read. I am not on Twitter. Now I can't read anything without signing up. This is not just about new users....
Exactly. That started a couple of days ago.
They can't stop you from scraping if you're not logged in. So it makes sense based on the stated problem, but it still sucks.
