So people now can’t view Twitter without logging in, but once people are logged in, Twitter only lets them look at a limited number of tweets.

I’m not sure what sense there is for a social media company to keep telling consumers to stop consuming content. Has the Twitter infrastructure become that fragile? Are they running out of tweets? Whatever they are smoking at Twitter HQ they might want to give it a rest.
