Removing the post button would increase the quality of twitter a lot, i think
Repost, like and reply are metrics that can be used to gauge how popular posts are, by removing that they can push whatever they want as “popular” with no real way of knowing. This is like Netflix Top 10 with no insight into the metrics.
In general whatever anyone does to anything, current userbase will 90% of the time be against it. But
“Next, we’ll remove all the action buttons with their superfluous interaction counts from the main timeline,” Musk posted in a subscriber-only post on X in October of last year. “Just view count will show, unless you tap into a post.”
So the main thing will be views. Not how many agree, how many object. Views
And probably it will also become the main analytic datapointShit in, shit out
So basically “we only want you to see what we decide you should see” since the views is decided by their own proprietary algorithm
Yeah this change is certainly for Musk: “how can I make my tweets look the most popular, without people liking them?”
Never used don’t care really but:
users can also force touch a post in order to open a menu with more options.
Their terminology needs some work, force touching is not ok…
Yeah wtf. Long tap is more clear anyway. Sounds like a Freudian slip
It’s not like Musk is known to sexually harass his employees, or anything. /s
Its rather touched
The force will be with you, always
It’s in reference to this: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Force_Touch
That said, it was discontinued in favor of Haptic Touch a while back.
This man is a genius!!! /s
Well, he’s slowly bringing Twitter down, which fits with his description of Twitter before he bought it.
Seems like he’s doing what he saw as needed doing - create space for other platforms to compete with Twitter.
Yes! Do it. Make your platform even less relevant, Lonnie. Run that shit right into the ground.
Twitter will be reintroduced as musk standing, naked and alone, on a street corner screaming gods’ secrets while doing the hand jive.
Probably realized he could cut server overhead by 40% this way
Another round of layoffs incoming
Obviously this would only apply to the app, right?
A lot of us would never install an app for the cancer social media apps
