Not that much of a surprise that they would. Why would anyone bother joining and using Twitter if they can’t see what it is that they’re signing up for, or justify why they should join in the first place?

I don’t know, it seems to work for Pinterest.

I’ve been avoiding Pinterest URLs for so long, couldn’t even tell you what the site is now. The login requirement definitely made me proactively avoid them and just treat all their links as spam in the search results.

Instagram almost works that way. Sometimes you can see a bit of content, but not much, even if you have direct link from friend.

I do not have account - just of the reasons you mentioned - I cannot justify if there’s anything interesting for me.
