Social Network X (formerly Twitter) tests a new way to publish posts with links to news articles: now they will not have headlines, only a clickable image and a short description will remain. X owner Elon Musk believes that headlines take up too much space in publications and interfere with scrolling through the feed.
If the user does not publish any additional text when placing the link, then the entire publication will consist of only one clickable image. It is not known when the company is going to introduce a new feature. According to source Fortune is the idea of Elon Musk, who believes the innovation will help curb clickbait. X has already tested the new feature with advertisers who didn’t like it. Nevertheless, the company is not going to abandon the idea proposed by Elon Musk.
Earlier, the owner of the social network X, Elon Musk, said that he was thinking about removing the user blocking functions from the application, leaving only the inability to write in private messages. Against the background of these news, due to the influx of users, a similar social network Bluesky broke down.
