I noticed the same thing after I tried to view links the bit. (I've never had a Twitter account). I also noticed you can click sign up and the X button after you click that and it will let you view the comments for a while after.
Never had an account, never will. This latest advertising scheme is gay, and won’t work
It's just conditioning. Before, a person could view without worries. Now you have to click something and X out and you can keep viewing it. Next they'll step that back a bit more. People will slowly climb out thinking they are comfortable and in control of their actions. Then the thought police will be there to ensure they are no longer a threat.
