So today I clicked a twitter link because companies like to use it for official announcements, only to be greeted with a login page. Was annoyed then I remembered nitter exists. It just prompted me to install Privacy Redirect which I should have done ages ago.

Looks like twitter waited for the reddit API changes to do push this change to try to do it under the radar.

If only there was some sort of reasonably-priced computer-readable service or platform that organisations could use to collect data without degrading the service of users...

Exactly. API users migrated to using scrapers instead of paying what NuTwitter wants for shitty service. Who could have foreseen that?
