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.
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?
I think these limits were increased to a point where they are not really bad or they were removed. The point of them was to prevent scraping to train AIs

Can’t really have free speech if platform depends on advertisers and investors.

Imagine using Twitter to train AI. “Why is my AI such an asshole!?”
Could be meant more like to influence elections…
Didn’t work when they blocked non-registered visitors.
