Not that I frequented Twitter that often, but damned if forcing me to login is going to happen.
I'm not trying to do anything to increase their traffic or numbers.
I've never had a Twitter account. I've never wanted one or needed one to be honest. I do feel like the easiest way to make yourself irrelevant is to gate keep yourself and allow a competitor to just copy your entire platform which appears to be what's happening.
I had, have, one a decade or more ago and then forgot the password to both it and the email address associated. Never really felt the need to re- engage.
While I understand the value that (once?) existed, I also am happy to see this self-immolation. I was troubled by the lazy reporting, that was becoming so common, of people simply reporting on tweets and responses to them, with no analysis outside of said reactions. But you could fill screen inches with all those links.
