>> Here's how it works. You flip on the feature in your settings; then when you open Twitter after being away for a while... That's perfect, I need to flip it

  It's a setting for now, but they are almost certainly planning to make it the default for all users after some testing and refinement. And ideally remove the setting altogether and make it standard behaviour. Should work well for most users if executed right.

  > That's perfect, I need to flip it on, just how things like this should be added to anything! I really don't have much of an opinion about the Twitter feature, but if a new feature appears in an app that is going to be beneficial to most users, making it off by default guarantees the vast majority of users will never see it.

    > making it off by default guarantees the vast majority of users will never see it. Good point. I suppose if I'm looking at it as a user I want to be able to turn on new things myself. If I'm looking at it as a creator/developer I want people to use this new awesome thing I spent all this time and money creating that I think will improve things for them.

      My point is if every new feature was off by default after several months/years of adding new features most users won't have them enabled and more than likely will have a worse experience overall. Turning on the new features by default but with a warning about them and an easy way to turn them off makes perfect sense to me.
