there are legitimate reasons to view its content

There are?

For example, there could be an important announcement from a content creator or business that you couldn't find elsewhere.

It's surprising how many people and places are only on one social (or antisocial) media.

At this point it's kinda insane to only use twitter for announcements. Most people don't have it, and you can't view tweets without an account or some complicated workaround like this.

I mean some people still do only post their stuff on twitter. But I'd imagine that's getting less and less every day.

legitimate uses like following a content creator, lol

There are some local news sources that post info about local traffic issues, emergencies, etc, much faster on twitter than elsewhere.

Also, there are some experts on international topics who write articles elsewhere, but still discuss those issues with each other on twitter. There's a list of english speaking experts on ukraine I keep up with. everyone's migrating, but not as fast as I'd like.

I use nitter for that stuff. Here's hoping they move soon, but people who know what I want to know aren't always good at social media.
