What do you mean by dead?
- burgerrito 2y agoI'm not sure if it's the whole social media, but X (formerly Twitter) now discourage you to share links. Yes, apparently attaching a URL will rank you lower in algorithm.

- jfil 2y agoLinkedIn is also known for down-ranking posts with links. That's why you'll see people posting a URL in a separate comment on their own post. These social networks are "on the Internet" but they are not "on the Web". The Web is strengthened through linking.
