Your Google search result redirects to Twitter
you click and open the link
Twitter asks you to login to see the tweet.
You close that tab and move on to next search result.

Best way to avoid traffic to your site, then complain about revenue loss from advertisements.

medium started doing the same shit, sometimes it has interesting articles I'd like to read, but then they started putting in behind registration so I just no longer open medium links.

If it's something interesting I would really like to read, I put it through https://archive.ph first.

Perhaps. But a rather large issue arises when your content is generated primarily by users who wouldn't want to pay for a service.

There is also the issue where if you are having to pay to get around interaction limits is it really free speech? Or just limited to those that can afford to pay?
