In the continuing saga of the self-defenestration of Elon Musk and Ecch (Twitter) the Apartheid Era Emerald Heir Pedo Guy™ has stated that the social media site automatically downgrades any posts with links to external sites.
If I were to guess as to the reason for this, it would be because Musk Evil Minions™ are desperate for engagement, so they want to make sure that all featured content points inside.
It's called circle the drain:
X owner Elon Musk seemed on Monday to confirm what sharp-eyed users have suspected for months: that putting a link in your post on his social network is a good way to ensure it won’t go viral.
Musk was replying to a post by the influential Silicon Valley investor Paul Graham, who opined on Sunday that “the deprioritization of tweets with links in them is Twitter’s biggest flaw.” X’s main draw, Graham said, is “to find out what’s going on, and you can’t do that without links.”
Musk’s response implied Graham was right that X’s algorithm downgrades link posts.
“Just write a description in the main post and put the link in the reply,” Musk said, mentioning a strategy that some savvy X users were already employing. “This just stops lazy linking.”
I guess that, "Just stops lazy linking," is Elon's version of the Steve Jobs quote, "You are holding it wrong," in response to issues with faulty iPhone antennas.
F%$# that.
