FYI: We're now omitting links in @Techmeme tweets. Why?
1. Links limit reach (see embedded study)
2. The cost for posting links using X's API increased today by 1900%.
Links may return later, but we're still exploring how we might accomplish that.
An analysis of the 200 most-recent tweets on X by 18 big publishers indicates links seem to hurt engagement, after debate arose over X's value for sharing news (@laurahazardowen / Nieman Lab)
