it's easy to forget now, but twitter was (relatively) HUGE for link-sharing around 2009-2014. Even now if I search "-from:visakanv Visakan Veerasamy", tonnes of the tweets are from lots and lots of links to old blogposts, Quora posts, Hacker News posts, etc

(granted, some of this is because I "went dark" after a while, but still... I don't see people on my newsfeed sharing links the way they used to. Even I used to share links more, see

All platforms have deprioritized links; FB outright hides posts containing them. Nobody wants you to leave their page.
Thanks. Twitter will use this to make your timeline better. UndoUndo
