One of the worst bugs with twitter webpage is this. When scrolling down to check overnight tweets on the timeline, and when you have scrolled hundreds of them and you click a regular tweet or a quoted tweet to check responses etc (thankfully quoted tweet opens as a popup lately; it used to open a different page earlier causing pissed_level++) and dismiss the popup, the feed is scrolled back up to the top, and to add to the misery, the tweets in the waiting will be expanded too. You would have to be a regular user of twitter in order to make sense of this and/or empathize.
- nerdponx 10y agoI don't think this is a bug. In the endless quest for eyeballs, they must keep your attention trained on the latest thing. Long attention spans lead to reading articles offsite, and that would reduce eyeball capture... Am I being too cynical here?
- raihansaputra 10y agoIt probably begins as a bug, but left it there by the reasons you mentioned. Or saw it as good enough and doesn't care about users who wants to know more than what happened in the last day/week/month.
- p333347 10y agoI think you just gave a solid reason for the dev team to close the bug as "won't fix"/"not a bug" and that with the backing of the marketing team.
