2) Community notes (birdwatch) was already released before Elon Musk took over. Elon just changed the name and maybe sped up the availability of it that's all.

3) Reply and retweet numbers already gave a pretty good idea of how much a post was popular compared to others. Having also the view count would be welcome but the algorithm on how a view is counted is not clear and the numbers seem inflated, so in its current state I am not sure if it is actually helpful, other than showing ad providers some inflated numbers.
4) The text of the tweet itself acts like the headline now, which is even worse than having the headline. Also when you click on the image, it takes you to the page where you see the headline first anyway. So I don't see how removing the headlines helped anything. In my opinion it just made it confusing to differentiate images from links.
- mrtksn 3y agoThe release timing of birdwatch is unimportant, it wasn't available for my region. Great feature anyway and Twitter is better now, I don't really care who takes the credit for it. Anyway, I don't know why one wouldn't click an article in a tweet to see what's all about but fine - maybe doesn't work the same for everyone. AFAIK We don't have other option than sticking to anecdotes and personal experience since no credible study was made on it. I always click on articles if I can't form my opinion from a headline. No, the person posting the article doesn't count because I click the article to check out why this person says this thing.
