If like me, you only engage with Twitter to the extent of clicking on a link that takes you to a Tweet, reading it and then getting the hell out before the brain dead replies consume what little remains of your soul, then can I recommend Googling up an addon for your preferred browser that redirects Twitter to Nitter as a way around this new barrier to entry.
I am using this one
- There is also https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/libredirect/ in case you are not aware which supports A LOT of different services besides twitter.
  
  Most of those servers are dead though (including some nitter instances). You will need to manually disable those that don't work and it's pain in the ass.
- Don't know why I haven't thought about looking for this add on. Thanks for the link!
- At least until they break nitter, as they already did with the +18 content.
- Nitter unfortunately does not work right now due to this change. Hopefully they will fix this somehow (probably by changing user agent to googlebot, because they still allow web crawlers)
- nitter has stopped working :(
