X, formerly known as Twitter, will remove headlines from news links and leave only images.

After luck reported that the social network X, better known as Twitter, plans to remove headlines from news links and leave only the imageThis was confirmed by the owner of the social network Elon Musk, which will mean big changes in news and content traffic.

luck announced this change on August 21, after gaining access to the company’s internal information, where it is explained that Musk is trying to stop “clickbait” and “reduce the size of tweets”.

“If you are a journalist and want more freedom to write and more income, post directly on this platform!” Musk wrote after the article was published.

These changes are currently not applied yet links look and work the traditional way.

Although the exact way this measure is applied remains to be seen (whether it will be equivalent to “screenshot” or have a different modality), the first implication is that Media will no longer receive direct traffic thanks to its appearance in X.

Some analysts suggest that Musk’s decision appears to be aimed at forcing the media subscribe to the “premium” option of your networkwhich so far has not had very much success, and thus offset the huge losses that the network has suffered since it was bought by a billionaire in October last year.

This option allows you to increase the number of characters that can be used in each “post” to 25,000 (apart from videos), but it also means that the media will have to create special content for Network X in each article.

This is not the first time Musk has interfered with how content published by the media is viewed, this year also the chief executive of Tesla and SpaceX put, and then removed tags it referred to “government-funded media” and “government-affiliated media” of various media outlets.

One result of these changes was that The American edition of NPR, which had 8.7 million subscribers, will leave this social network.

Musk’s latest announcement also came in the midst of a bitter fight with Mark Zuckerberg, creator and CEO of Meta, who just launched his own Threads network with the stated goal of competing directly with Twitter.
