Is there some trick to actually being able to see information on Twitter? When I click a tweet, I get the tweet, then a random smattering of 2-3 semi-related tweets, and then a login popup that breaks the page

Do you guys use an extension to process it or something?

(Same issue with Reddit of course)

replace "twitter.com" with "nitter.net", or for video embedding (discord, etc) use vxtwitter.com or fxtwitter.com. Tweetdeck is what a lot of twitter people use for "serious twittering" (lol).

For reddit use old.reddit.com instead of www.reddit.com. Reddit is Fun is a great native app for android and on iOS there's Apollo.

Both sites are laser-focused on driving conversions and engagement which means forcing you into an account and native apps (specifically their shitty native apps), and undoubtedly they'll start breaking the workarounds and third-party clients for realsies at some point.

But I mean, if users don't even have an account and native app install, how can they possibly get you doomscrolling all day? It's 2022, it's all about the engagement metrics, fuck user experience.
