告诉 HN:X 正在任何推文链接,无论你是否点击,都会在 Webview 中打开

刚看到 Substack 的 CEO 庆祝来自 X/Twitter 的流量飙升,还以为他们停止了对带链接推文的屏蔽[0]。实际上,流量增加是因为现在只要你打开一条带链接的推文,应用内网页视图就会在后台加载,并在你点击链接时显示出来。
我经营一家电商,很多客户都来自 Twitter。我也很震惊地看到我的流量一夜之间翻倍或翻三倍,还以为算法眷顾了我和我的业务。很快就意识到实际情况是怎样的。觉得其他流量监测者可能会喜欢这个解释。
与此同时,Nikita Bier 假装他们从未屏蔽过带链接的推文,并提供了另一种解释:“一个常见的抱怨是,带链接的帖子往往触达率较低。这是因为网页浏览器遮挡了帖子,人们会忘记点赞或回复。所以 X 无法获得明确的信号,判断内容是否优质”[1]。这有点改写历史了,因为埃隆和他的母亲都曾发推文抱怨用他的平台推广其他链接/平台是不公平的,甚至封禁了分享其他社交网络个人资料的人(包括 Paul Graham 一段时间)。他们不久后就屏蔽了所有链接。

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
