That 'feature' never made sense to me. "You always miss the advertising shots you don't take" when you force people to sign up first.

I’m sure they crunched the numbers and found that the gain from targeted ads toward the people that sign up is bigger than the loss of people who don’t use Twitter because of the annoyance. Instagram is even worse for what it’s worth.
