Twitter recently introduced a new feature that requires users to sign in to their account to view tweets. Previously, anyone could access tweets for free without an account. This change has raised questions from Twitter users and tech enthusiasts, as the company has not officially commented on the update.

A well thought out strategy or a temporary glitch? Solving Twitter’s purposes

While some think this may be a temporary glitch, others believe it may be a deliberate move to encourage more people to create accounts on the platform. Twitter wants to expand its user base, and this requirement can be seen as a strategy to turn passive observers into active contributors.

However, this change could potentially have unintended consequences for Twitter. If tweets are no longer public, this can affect a site’s visibility in search engines, potentially reducing regular traffic from platforms like Google. In addition, this change has somewhat disturbed users who preferred the previous easy access.

It’s worth noting that although Elon Musk is no longer the CEO, his recent involvement in Twitter may have been a contributing factor to this change. Musk previously expressed his concerns about the search for artificial intelligence tools on Twitter and criticized companies that used Twitter data without permission.

Since Twitter’s new CEO, Linda Jaccarino, took over, technical glitches continue to occur on the platform. Recently, a significant number of users have received suspension notices due to allegations of spam, but the reason for this event remains unclear as Twitter has not made any official response. Due to Musk’s influence in management, the possibility of a quick policy change cannot be ruled out.

The introduction of a login requirement to view tweets on Twitter has caused significant concern among users and raised questions about the platform’s direction under the new management. As users await further clarification from the company, we’ll see how this change will impact user engagement and Twitter’s growth in the coming months.
