"X Reinstates Headlines on Link Previews with Reduced Font Size"

Originally Published 2 years ago — by New York Post

Elon Musk's social media platform, formerly known as Twitter and referred to as X in the article, has reinstated the display of news story headlines on posts, reversing Musk's earlier decision to remove them. This move had been criticized for making it difficult to understand what the linked stories were about. Musk, who acquired the platform for $44 billion in 2022, has made several controversial changes, including massive layoffs and content moderation policy shifts. The platform has faced challenges, including a significant drop in valuation and an advertising exodus following accusations of promoting hate speech.

"X Reintroduces Headlines with Subtle, Small-Sized Text"

Originally Published 2 years ago — by The Verge

Twitter, now known as X, is reintroducing headlines to URL cards on its platform, albeit with smaller text and some limitations, such as truncation with ellipses for longer titles. This update aims to improve user experience by making it clearer what content a linked image will lead to, addressing issues that arose after headlines were removed last year under Elon Musk's direction to streamline post appearance. The feature is currently visible on the web version and is expected to roll out to mobile platforms, though it's already functioning as before on Android.
