      He kind of already has implemented something like this. If you ever try and load a mobile reddit thread in your browser, you’re greeted with a download the app-wall like 50% or more of the time.

      it’s better in the app

      Watching him destroy that site is quite astonishing. I’ve never had an account with twitter. It never appealed to me. Making it a requirement to have an account to even see content isn’t going to convince me to sign up.

      Since many companies use twitter as their mouthpiece on the internet. I wonder how they’re going to react when they’re now only able to engage with registered users. I’d be surprised if this works out well for the company to be honest.

        He’ll, if can’t even tell what’s on it, why would I want to sign up?
