I don't have an account, and the change has been noticeable and annoying. It's more than just clicking on another tweet, though from what I can tell they've been A/B testing this behavior (sometimes I get it and sometimes I do not). On mobile, you can't click through to someone's profile from the tweet without creating an account. If the tweet chain is more than 4 or 5 tweets, you cannot read the rest without creating an account. It's prevented me from normal browsing habits multiple times, like reading the ASML twitter thread that was posted on HN a couple of days ago.
