But they added something to block web scraping, since nitter is still broken.

I think they still blocking, perhaps by IP? I still see the login page.

Same here.

Aha - it's potentially a smart solution for them. Specific tweet links - the thing that they were losing the most traffic from, possibly - still work fine without login. You can't do just general browsing, though. This is what the article mentioned but weren't 100% clear about it.
