It doesn't show live profile pages to logged out users since a while ago. You get cached summary pages, an age gate error, or sometimes a straight up 404.

Most individual permalinks (.com/username/1234...) don't work without logging in, either, and the official client now uses `/i/` in place of usernames for permalinks(bogus usernames always worked; pkey was the timestamp).

This means an organizationally shared Twitter account for announcements is not a viable concept, at least until Twitter is to be transferred again to whoever would be a better keeper of it.

I think that was a lot more justifiable when Twitter reliably let logged out users read tweets. X seem to tweak it all the time, or maybe it’s just broken a lot, but sometimes I can’t even load a tweet in a browser that isn’t logged in.
