告诉HN:X在你点击与否的情况下,都会在网页视图中打开任何推文链接。
刚刚看到Substack的首席执行官庆祝来自X/Twitter的流量激增,以为他们停止了对带链接的推文的压制。实际上,这种流量的增加是因为现在每当你打开一条带链接的推文时,应用内的网页视图会在后台加载,并在你点击链接时显示出来。
我经营一家电子商务商店,很多客户来自Twitter。我也很震惊地发现我的流量在一夜之间翻倍或三倍,认为算法对我和我的业务给予了祝福。后来才意识到实际发生的事情。觉得其他流量监测者可能会对这个解释感兴趣。
与此同时,Nikita Bier假装他们从未压制过带链接的推文,提供了另一种解释:“一个常见的抱怨是,带链接的帖子往往会获得较低的覆盖率。这是因为网页浏览器覆盖了帖子,人们会忘记点赞或回复。因此,X无法清楚地判断内容是否优秀。”这有点像是在重写历史,因为Elon和他的母亲都曾发推表示,使用他的平台来推广其他链接/平台是不公平的,甚至还禁止了分享其他社交网络(包括Paul Graham一段时间)的个人资料的人。他们在不久后就压制了所有链接。

Just saw the CEO of Substack celebrating traffic from X/Twitter shooting up thinking they stopped suppressing tweets with links[0]. Actually, this traffic is because now any time you open a tweet with a link, the in-app webview loads in the background, and displays when you press the link.<p>I run an ecom store that gets a lot of its customers from Twitter. I was also shocked to see my traffic double or triple overnight and thought the algorithm had blessed me and my business. Soon realized what was actually happening. Thought other traffic-monitors might appreciate this explanation.<p>Meanwhile Nikita Bier is pretending they never suppressed tweets with links to begin with, offering the alternative explanation: "a common complaint is that posts with links tend to get lower reach. This is because the web browser covers the post and people forget to Like or Reply. So X doesn't get a clear signal whether the content is any good"[1]. A bit of a rewriting of history since Elon and his mom both tweeted about how it wasn't fair to use his platform to promote other links/platforms, even banning people who shared profiles of other social networks (including Paul Graham for a period). They suppressed all links shortly after.<p>[0] https://x.com/cjgbest/status/1985464687350485092<p>[1] https://x.com/nikitabier/status/1979994223224209709
