Twitter recently removed the login prompt[1], so at least one website is now slightly less pushy.

Does that work consistently for anyone else? I don't have a Twitter account but there are a couple of Twitter posters I occasionally check on - and I'm still seeing the "See more Tweets from ..." modal at times (I just verified it now).
I tried in Chrome Incognito mode and I have yet to encounter a popup, but I only sampled a few persons and only scrolled for a few minutes, so I am not sure if they only reduced the threshold or if it's not yet rolled out everywhere.
I wouldn't be surprised if it somehow sees in the cookie that you've logged in before and prompts to login.

I've not seen one for awhile now, but I have no logged in ever.

I am still getting the login window after scrolling a few tweets. Same in incognito, doesn't matter if I accept all cookies or not.
