My 2-cents on X's new link card design that shows only the image + domain, no title, no desc.

1. Render click-bait headlines useless.
2. Publications usually attach image, which removes link card, as it has higher CTR. Now, they don't need to attach image anymore.
3. Encourage clicks as it lacks details. Folks will only RT/QT after reading the web page. Context: folks RT/QT without reading theverge.com/2020/9/25/2145563

For ever, Twitter has suggested I read an article before re-tweeting. I do, but I click on the link/share as/open in web browser (private mode). Can’t track. Fail.
