I've just tried to access a bunch of Provider twitter accounts as well as some civvie twitter accounts. EVERY attempt, even when using a direct link ( www.twitter.com/Her_Twitter_Account_Name ) immediately goes to a twitter login popup where I am asked to log in with Google, Apple, or Username.  
.
Anybody else or everybody else experiencing this? I have ZERO social media accounts and I only access twitter posts using a VPN. Is this another Elon Musk thing? Any workarounds (generic account name, no password?)?

Some providers post their touring schedules on Twitter.  I also have ZERO social media presence which is going to make it harder to follow providers who mainly use Twitter.

Twitter eye candy was a treat.
Girls Travel plans was also nice.

a significant number of their potential customers eschew social media (for very good reason) and therefore it would behoove them to make sure that they remain accessible by other less intrusive means.

One of Christopher Walken's most memorable SNL skits.

Elon enacted the drastic policy to shut out chatbot AIs who were scraping Twitter for data. These chatbots were putting huge demands on the servers.

Agree. I have a burner twitter account just for following hookers. It’s a nice read every morning looking at the new pics and seeing who’s in or coming to my area.

Exactly. Create an account, it's easy.

An alternative, though have not idea on just how safe it might be, is nitter.net.

Seems like Musk is saying this is a temporary action in response to excessive data scraping.

Perhaps not the greatest supply, but fairly distributed:

"Le bon sens est la chose du monde la mieux partagée ... La puissance de bien juger, et distinguer le vrai d'avec le faux, qui est proprement ce qu'on nomme le bon sens, ou la raison, est naturellement égale en tous les hommes." - Rene Descartes

Gesundheit!!

As he put Descartes before the horse.

a link in their profile to an ad platform other than twitter that is public access without a login, TER is not going to accept reviews for them.  P411 ran into this and had to set up a page that is available without login for girls who want TER reviews, and twitter will have to do the same.  Of course, the ladies will have to be the ones to complain to twitter, and some of the TER haters that don't like reviews may be just fine with the login requirement.

Bottom line: This is bad for Providers business and not good for clients as it was a source of information.
 I am an old fart. No way I will ever have any social media presence, burner or not, PREIOD!

I guess you're right after all. Res ipsa loquitur. Descartes WAS WRONG! Le bon sens N'EST PAS le monde le plus partagée.

Then wait a while. As has been said several times, this setup is temporary.

Agreed........
