I made an account after Musk took over and Mysterious Twitter X started mandating logging in, in large part since he made the place tolerable and I follow illustrators and official accounts for games I play anyway.
Making the account wasn't that annoying. Once upon a time they demanded my phone number and that was obnoxious to the point of noping out, but nowadays (after Musk took over?) they also take email instead. Email for registering accounts is nothing new, so no big deal; been doing that since 2002 when I registered my first forum account.
After I made my account I went and followed all the accounts I usually follow, and my recommendations got relevant in very short order: Posts from illustrators, the games, and players who play those games.
So, thanks Musk. You've at least convinced one guy to make an account where Dorsey flatly couldn't, and made the guy even happy about it which was pleasantly surprising.
oh yeah? Interesting you chose not to elaborate on how, given the statements I made about ruining public access stand.
But in summary, you're saying you used the platform the same way it was usable before Elon bought it, other than all of the things I mentioned that make it unusable for those not-logged-in? Let's be frank, Elon made it 200% worse, than relinquished to only 150% worse, and that's a win?
