I think the trend of many big tech companies nowadays to continue to further isolate themselves from user bases that made them a popular source to begin with, will eventually be to their own ruin. But you won't be able to convince greedy CEOs of this (at least not currently).

As much as I hate Twitter, this is just ridiculous. Pretty much ALL the big social-media sites I've seen now require accounts. This is only gonna create walled gardens...

That's just Elongated Muskowrat reminding everyone that he remains a shithead.

Facebook and Instagram already do this. It was only a matter of time for Twitter.

Timed carefully so the reporting of it is diluted by news about the Reddit API at the same time?

Sorry, but this is ridiculous. I wonder what's happening next.
