"The Rise and Fall of X's Headline-Heavy Link Previews: A Brief and Underwhelming Revival"

TL;DR Summary
Social media platform X, owned by Elon Musk, experienced fluctuating visibility of article headlines in user feeds due to bugs and user feedback. Initially removed to reduce tweet height and improve aesthetics, headlines were reinstated atop main images in response to user backlash. Musk, known for his direct influence on the platform's design, reversed his decision and has now implemented smaller cards that still feature headlines, marking a rare instance of him heeding user concerns.
