Bud:
I just thought if this login enforcement has to do with the riots in France. Seems plausible. Croud control through cutting off means of communication.
ataradov:
This was likely related to scraping bots, since they instituted view limits on paying/registered/unregistered accounts and the smallest is 600 twits in a day or something like that. This should be fine, if you need to view more than 600 twits, you really need to get a life.
SiliconWizard:
Indeed. ;D

You say that but you might use up half of that just scrolling past the crypto SPAM.  :-DD (it's apparently total tweets loaded)

Supposedly the quota will be increased to 800 soon. That doesn't like "bot activity" to me and more like they are having serious operational issues and are desperately trying to reduce load?

No, that is the limit with a (free) account. You can't read any tweets anymore without one.
