Why do you have to make an account in order to look at support threads?

Unless I'm being hit with severe onset dementia I don't recall ever having to do this. If the quest app was giving me sh*t I could just google the problem and browse the forum results that popped up. Now I'm being told to make an account? If it's not the meta platform itself sh*tting it's pants then it's dumb sh*t like this getting in the way of someone for once actually having an enjoyable meta UX. Is the meta platform struggling so badly that they need to pawn off user data to phishing services? Does the meta team lead not get a bonus unless he meets his "f*ck the users" quota? Is the very notion of multi-whatever-dollar corporations not spitting on users antithetical to the corporate playbook? I don't understand. It's like watching your barista slit his wrists in front of you after you order a medium black coffee.

Do I understand the intimate inner affairs of meta's management? No, I'm just b*tching. But it's a good reason to b*tch and if you were smart you'd be b*tching too. Sh*t is like finding out they're discontinuing ice cream sandwiches. Yeah I'll just buy something else but you're telling me they can't make ice cream sandwiches anymore? Bullsh*t.

    Jesus I'm already starting to get emails about a f*cking rank system? Ranks? Why would I ever give a sh*t about ranks? This isn't some podunk derelict image board where nerds lord superiority complexes over themselves. I hit the "don't send me advertisements" box but I'm still getting junk mail? Who designs this sh*t. This is why they needed to force uses to sign up. They knew their UX was sh*t and instead of improving it they said "play ball or fu*k off." This is why meta is the butt of every vr joke out there.

    Hi ddddddd.107064​ 🙂

    you can read the entire forum without being logged in or even having a Meta account.

    Type in the title of this thread in Google search ....you can follow that link, you can read it without being signed in or if you use incognito mode.

    What  happened is this:

    The forum got restructed a few days ago, there are some new named forums while others got removed..... threads were moved from one forum to another one.

    As a result, Google search links doesn't work anymore for those moved threads..... sadly.☹️
    If you follow such a link from Google. you'll get the "make or log in with Meta account" page.
