Only if it's directly linked to you. Can't go scrolling on someone's profile without getting blocked by a pop-up. Also can't click a post and see replies.

Edit: also can't read a thread because each new post is considered a "reply", so blocked too.

Not in any useful way that makes Twitter better or different than other sources of news.

I can't think of another platform that carries a more diverse range of news and perspectives.

But that's beside the point. I was pointing out that X does allow non-logged in users view posts.

We're probably cross purposes, but, yes, you can view posts in isolation if directly linked to that individual post.

But try to go anywhere 'related' or follow a trail of replies and you're blocked by either a login prompt or a post limit or some other guest-unfriendly pattern. And that means, for me personally, that the original 'thing' is not worth the time because I can't follow the train of thought that it creates - which is probably why it's designed that way: annoy people into signing up.

I can not and will not reward that (mostly, I'm probably hypocritical in a couple of facets of my life choices).

Text posts, yes. Videos can't be watched with volume on web as any interaction with the video player redirects you to the App Store

While inconvenient, I would be surprised if isn't a relatively small use case. Most people who use X on their phones are using the app.
