Here is another setting that Elon Musk has made XSocial network as it used to be TwitterWhich will surely annoy some people: the site and its apps no longer display the titles of shared articles X. in August, musk Confirmed that the change is in progress:
“It comes directly from me. It will greatly improve the aesthetics.”
musk He revealed that he is not a fan of the links posted X, as they drive people away from the service and the platform’s content algorithm gives links less priority. In response to someone sharing data showing a sharp drop in news site referrals X y Facebook In the last two years, published on October 3:
“Our algorithm tries to optimize the time spent XSo links don’t get as much attention, because people click away and spend less time.”
musk He added: “It’s good to publish content widely on this platform.”
The change will change the way media companies and publishers share content X, since without a caption below the image, a post will lack context unless the caption is included as post text (or the caption is not included in the image shared with the article). Share articles X They still link back to the original site by clicking on the featured image. some users X reported that as of Wednesday they were still seeing article titles on their timelines.
Meanwhile, musk has routinely shown hostility to the media and protected “citizen journalists” who publish text, audio and video directly on the platform.
“Citizen journalism breaks the monopoly of a handful of editors, naturally they don’t like it,” he tweeted in May.
musk The New York Times removed its verification mark (citing the outlet’s refusal to pay for verified status), then restored it before removing it again. Banned (then unblocked) journalists whose accounts have been suspended due to musk He claimed they “doxed” him by posting a link to an account that tracked his private jet. And after being removed from the public relations department Twitter, the media contact email account automatically responds with a poop emoji (An email sent to PR’s inbox on Wednesday X Requesting information resulted in an auto-reply message: “We are busy at the moment, please come back later.”)
Among other changes that musk He has done since taking office Twitter October 2022: The name and logo are scrapped Twitter in favor of X, your favorite letter of the alphabet; updated the checkmark program to allow any paying subscriber to get one (and removed blue checkmarks from celebrity accounts, before restoring many of them a few days later); and oversaw massive layoffs that eliminated 80% of the company’s workforce.
musk He said so recently X “The system will attempt a small monthly payment for usage X“A few dollars or something” because “it’s the only way I can think of to fight off a massive army of bots.”
musk Still controlling X/Twitter And said he continues to lead the company’s product and technology teams (while still serving as its CEO Tesla y SpaceX and oversees other projects). It hired former NBCUniversal sales chief Linda Iaccarino as CEO to lead business operations.
Through: diversity
Editor’s note: This is the first thing I’ve half liked that this guy has done with social networks I hate these titles and above all, their aesthetics. I think it’s better to have a creative copy and an image with a link to the note. However, I completely disagree with your disdain for the media, your so called citizen journalists can go viral on a much larger scale than a verified media outlet. I hope someone makes Trinador.com or something like that.
