    I’ve never used Twitter, but I’m able to view this. As it’s a video, a screenshot would not be adequate.

    Functionally, it was fine. I saw no ads while watching this clip and therefore likely contributed no revenue to them. I suppose technically you might contribute some browsing data, but largely I suspect that clicking this link as an anonymous viewer offers no material benefit to Twitter. Which isn’t to say the clip couldn’t also be hosted elsewhere, but hey, be the change you want to see in the world.

    edit: In fact, if enough anonymous users click this, it might technically qualify as a net loss due to bandwidth, etc.
