This article is a lot of words about the fact that twitter, or should I say X, is promoting tweets, er posts, that keep one on X (posts without a link in them, the example given in the article is posts with pictures) instead posts that send one away from X (posts that consist of a link promoting something on an external website, which used to have the ability to go viral greatly helping the owner/author of what's on the external website).
- beepbooptheory 3y agoThe article is roughly 1,500 words.. If that is a lot to you, I guess it just means you probably like twitter these days!
- earthboundkid 3y agoI dunno, I also found it sort of rambling and not getting to the point of its thesis.
- latency-guy2 3y agoThe article also agrees that 1,500 words is a lot, seeing as they are the leeches who say things like optimize for the picture rather than the content and the attention economy. Really, this is a bunch of whinging from people who used to get free promotion from others work, now they can't abuse that trust anymore.
- golergka 3y agoAs a user, I'd much prefer a concise tweet instead of a huge article with the same exact point. So, I guess Musk's Twitter actually improves my experience.
- thih9 3y agoWhat if it’s impossible to present that point in a post on X? E.g. because it’s too complex, or because the author doesn’t post on X, or for some other reason.
- SamBam 3y agoSome people just want to live in a world of sound-bites and hot-takes. They're also the sorts of people who believe most books should be replaced by a paragraph-long summary.
- madeofpalk 3y agoUnfortunately now you can pay to have your tweets be huge-article sized.
