Elon Musk has appeared to confirm that his social media company X, formerly Twitter, throttles traffic to other websites by stifling any posts that contain outside links.
Paul Graham, an influential tech investor and essayist, had complained on Sunday about X’s “deprioritization of tweets with links in them,” saying it made it harder to “find out what’s going on.”
“Just write a description in the main post and put the link in the reply. This just stops lazy linking,” Musk replied.
Here is some news of why some people do not add a link to every post on Twitter. For my
ReTweet Service Clients… I would still add the link in the pinned post because we are forcing traffic to your posts.*
But as the article suggests... you may want to create some posts with out links and then add them in the first comment
