Noticed that as well, guess twitter will become much less linked to in the future?

For sure! And what about all those embedded Tweets in news articles?

I was on a news site yesterday that had an embed that asked if I wanted to see Twitter content or not. And I was like, "Why would I need to see and give views to a Tweet that you're describing in this article? NOPE." And opted out. It was great. I hope more sites do this in the future

kid named reading the tweet yourself instead of reading a re-telling of a tweet:

I often look up the tweets/original news stories just because media often twists the context or grasps at straws to make for a flashier headline.

Kid named, I don't need to give Elon the views when the article quotes the entire tweet. It's not like they're novels.

Seriously, Elon is speedrunning the destruction of twitter

It’s a race to the bottom between Twitter and Reddit.

It's the cool big tech move to kill your business right now. Soon we'll be seeing articles on why making site's unusable hellscapes is good for future growth.
