Ok but twitter isn't even a real source for news so who cares. Go to a real news site.
The problem is many people still rely on X for live news such as sport news, disaster news (earthquake news), war news (Gaza/Ukraine). But, with this change this is getting really bad lately for this platform.
Just like many rely on Facebook. Providing news doesn't make it a good news source.
It's a voluntary captured audience. They will see it because they go there already. Doesn't matter about the quality. They don't care anyway.
