This change aims to keep users within X’s platform, potentially boosting engagement numbers for Elon Musk’s business. However, it introduces confusion and may lead users to overlook linked articles.

Despite these criticisms, “X” has not announced any plans to revert this change. As users adapt to this new format, it remains to be seen how this will impact user behaviour and engagement on the platform.
