X (Twitter) to not display text with links anymore
On this occasion, Elon Musk said: “This is coming from me directly. Will greatly improve the esthetics”.


California: X, formerly known as Twitter, has suddenly made a strange change in its platform whereby when a news link is posted, its headline will not appear.
According to Elon Musk, owner of X, this will make posts look better.
Now when a link is posted on X, the image included in the news will appear in front of the user with the website domain written in the left corner but nothing else to indicate that the image is clicked. You will be redirected to another website.
This change has been made for iOS and desktop users and will make it harder for users to guess which image is news and which is normal.
The feature to remove headlines from link posts has been in the process since August.
On this occasion, Elon Musk said: “This is coming from me directly. Will greatly improve the esthetics”.
I almost never read legacy news anymore.
