Before I can even begin to read it, the frukin' pop-up blocks me. It won't affect me though, I will NEVER join Twitter.

Maybe they just do it to certain twitter posts where they want to reduce traffic?

There's one account that blocked me long ago that is a daily read for me.
In order to read it, I log in using a New Private Window on my browser. The popup still appears from time to time, but I can mostly close it.
I did join Twitter long ago, and for the most part have no issues with it.

open your browser in incognito mode , you can then easily view twitter without joining or signing your life away!
