Twitter’s Descent into Madness: The Upcoming "Redesign" of Your Feed
In a move that’s sure to send shockwaves through the Twitterverse, the platform’s new owner, Elon Musk, has announced plans to "redesign" the way content appears in your feed. And by "redesign," we mean "destroy" the very fabric of the platform.
As of now, Musk’s team is planning to remove the most basic interaction buttons from posts – you know, the ones that allow you to like, retweet, and reply to your favorite tweets. Yes, you read that right. The very buttons that make Twitter, well, Twitter. Gone.
But wait, it gets better. Instead of tapping on those buttons, you’ll be forced to swipe left or right on a post to like or reply. Because, you know, swiping is so much more intuitive than clicking. And if you’re on iOS, you’ll have the added "bonus" of being able to force-touch a post to open a menu with more options. Because who doesn’t love a good force-touch?
But don’t worry, the view count will still be there, proudly displayed in the upper right-hand corner of each post. Because, you know, views are all that matter. And if you’re lucky, you might even get to see a little blue checkmark next to the view count, indicating that the tweet has been viewed by a real person (or a bot, who knows?).
And don’t even get me started on the reaction to this "redesign." Most users are already calling it a disaster, and we can’t say we blame them. I mean, who thought it was a good idea to remove the very buttons that make Twitter interactive?
But hey, at least Musk is open to changing his mind if this "redesign" doesn’t work out. After all, as he so eloquently put it, "If it sucks that bad, they will change it back." So, you know, there’s that.
In conclusion, Twitter’s "redesign" is a bold move that’s sure to send shockwaves through the platform. And by "bold move," we mean "bone-headed decision." But hey, at least we’ll always have the view count to look at.
