Mind you this is not Google doing it on purpose. This is just Musk's genius idea of blocking tweets without being logged in. Others will drop as well, they just need some time to expire. Also, if you are wondering if they can show tweets to crawler but not show it to others Google doesn't look favorably on that. Content must appear the same to crawler as well as humans.
Note that Google allows plenty of login gated content which is actually against their indexing terms.
The key is not to force it for every viewer or give a few view credits. The fact that Mollusk gang doesn't know this is very reflective of their current capabilities. There's no real talent left at Twitter.
Could also be realted to not paying the bills google sent him.
people really need to get over this nonsense. yeah, twitter wasn't paying their bills. but now they have paid it. it was just for some internal analytics services, not the main site, and had nothing to do with twitter's recent downtime.
google's not going to retaliate against them after they paid.
