  • Your Google search result redirects to Twitter
  • you click and open the link
  • Twitter asks you to login to see the tweet.
  • You close that tab and move on to next search result.

Best way to avoid traffic to your site, then complain about revenue loss from advertisements.

medium started doing the same shit, sometimes it has interesting articles I'd like to read, but then they started putting in behind registration so I just no longer open medium links.

[–] const_void@lemmy.world 10 points 2 years ago

Hell, medium should be paying me to read them

If it's something interesting I would really like to read, I put it through https://archive.ph first.

Didn't work when they blocked non-registered visitors.

It is working now though, the login restriction on the official Twitter website is still in place

[–] antonim@lemmy.world 4 points 2 years ago

Oh damn, I did realise it's working again a few days ago, so I just assumed Twitter is open too.
