    Ok but twitter isn’t even a real source for news so who cares. Go to a real news site.

      The problem is many people still rely on X for live news such as sport news, disaster news (earthquake news), war news (Gaza/Ukraine). But, with this change this is getting really bad lately for this platform.

        Just like many rely on Facebook. Providing news doesn’t make it a good news source.

      It’s not a source for news, but a venue.

      Or at least, it used to be.

      It says posts containing links. That means links to news stories. You are currently engaging with a post that is a link to a new story. Maybe you shouldn’t be here. Go find a “real” news site.

    Wasn’t it known/confirmed since Twitter made their algorithm partially open source? (I think it was a year ago or so)

    twitter has been “x’d” out. Do not expect it to be anything other than a shit show. The X means close the window, goodbye.

    He wants the content there rather than people going to other sites for it - that way he knows EXACTLY what’s being posted there, what people are saying about him and Donny - he wants to own and control it all.

    That would imply that people who still use twitter would be interested in actual news.
