You can't view content there without an account now.

Not sure why people aren't making a bigger deal about this. Acres of content were removed from the public web overnight, and people (like journalists) who still treat this like it's some sort of public service seem clueless to this.

Rate limiting is minor compared to that.

I can't load tweets on people's profile pages, but navigating to a specific tweet works. That probably kills a lot of indexers.

Probably they just wanted to fix the problem that existing tweets referenced in news articles, etc. were now unavailable, but at the same time keep things locked out to non-account holders generally.

This comment thread started with someone explaining why they won't use Twitter, and now you're arguing from the standpoint of someone who essentially doesn't use it anyway.
