X drops headlines from articles, as new report details its bleeding ad revenue
(www.marketwatch.com)
I've been on social media for quite a long time, and I've noticed that people have one thing in common: people just like to read the headline and argue endlessly.
(See? I'm doing it right now: writing this part of the comment before reading the article!)
This raises the question: If there is no headlines any more, what's left?
An endless barrage of people grumbling about nonsense that isn't even tangentially related to anything? People given a new excuse to pretend the source wasn't posted in a debate? (...okay, so this is already what's happening at the birdsite, so I can see why Musk considers this just an aesthetic change.)

Don't act shocked. This exactly what the Saudis paid him to do.
