Just like no one wants to sign into Twitter to read one tweet.

I mean, I don’t like that either but it doesn’t affect links to tweets.

It does however affect getting updates from government agencies, and others who insist on only disseminating real-time information to the public via Twitter.

For instance: https://twitter.com/WakaKotahiWgtn

This is the account for traffic events (road closures, traffic accidents, etc) in my city. Not signed in, the latest visible post is from February 2023.

Since I don't have a twitter account, this is now functionally useless.
