Check out this guy: https://twitter.com/richgel999

He's an ex-Valve coder who's basically on a personal crusade against them, revealing a lot of internal politics and other unpleasant stuff. Last I checked, he intended to write a book about it.

Is there a way to bypass Twitter's auth wall?

If you absolutely cannot live without reading these postings, you can replace twitter.com with nitter.net

I got really excited upon seeing this, but then I checked out his twitter profile, and all his recent tweets were just rambles about UFO conspiracy theories with screenshots of snippets from random documents, all tagged with #ufotwitter hashtag.

I am not the kind of a person to care much about people's post history just to take a dig at them for it, and I am not judging him for being into it. This is all harmless and fine. But, sadly, the whole UFO conspiracy theory nonsense seriously undermines my trust in his takes on Valve and how things were actually going there.

Yep, same here. I stopped following his Twitter once he got similarly into UFO, perhaps a year ago.

He's a conspiracy theorist heavy into UFO and ESP with a grudge. Hardly credible.
