Do you have a screenshot of what you see when you click the above link? I've never had a twitter link go directly to a login screen. A twitter link within a twitter link does, though, unless you copy paste it into the address bar.
I don't understand why I'm being downvoted. Am I seeing something different than everyone else? I just tried with private browser, multiple browsers, multiple devices, and they're all the same: I click any twitter post link I can find, and I see the post, no login screen. I'm not using adblock or and javascript is turned on.
Trying to open an image in a tweet also gets the login screen and since a lot of people hide the important information in images because that's what the algorithm prefers, simply visiting the tweet URL directly is no longer a viable solution. You also sometimes get the login requirement for the initial tweet itself.
It depends on the tweet. I can browse many profiles of public figures just fine and open their tweets, but tweets from random people (especially if they include media) will bounce me back with a login wall. Remotely NSFW stuff is instant block.
I'm referring to a modal overlaying the post. It says "see this post in the app". Not a login prompt, as I previously reported (but who cares, modal is modal).
It is not difficult to understand why you are being downvoted. You are insisting that your own personal observations are the absolute truth, and rejecting everyone else's.
