Assuming that Musk/Twitter aren't surreptitiously limiting the reach of media outlets he doesn't like, like they did with the NYT[1]. Ironic, how Musk accused Publicly listed Twitter of "shadow banning" during the manufacturer "Twitter files" fiasco. Long term conversions isn't something media outlets can bank on on Twitter.

- AnthonyMouse 3y agoTwitter has been doing this since long before Musk. The mechanism is opaque because they barely admit to it even happening much less how it works, so we don't even know if it's humans making the decisions or algorithms. The real test is if Musk will get it to stop doing that. How long does that take in a large bureaucracy full of legacy code and potentially hostile employees? Plausibly longer than he's controlled the company. > Long term conversions isn't something media outlets can bank on on Twitter. Long-term conversions don't need the platform to like you tomorrow. That's what makes them long-term. Once they know you exist they keep coming back to your own service.
