Is there no one here who works at Twitter and can chime in?

What is the deal with these new weird links?

Also, I would vote no, but if links no longer render for logged out users then I would be willing to discuss alternative measures. I am just not entirely sure about the link you shared and its URL structure.

Twitter has a lot of people using it and posting stuff there exclusively, a lot of which is genuinely interesting and provokes curiosity.

yes absolutely. But if no one can read it / logged out user cant read it - so whats the purpose of it, then? So, hence, my question

I think anyone still working at Twitter would be too nervous about getting the boot to post in a thread like this.
