    So Twitter for some reason added an icon to every post where you see how many views it has. It's vaguely interesting I guess? But I'm not sure why this is being placed on the left where the Reply button used to be. Or why I would care in the first place how many views other peoples' posts have.

    Based on Elon's talk above the company is basically collapsing but it seems like they are just randomly tinkering with site features.

    • I guess I can see a case for it -- it increases the amount of feedback the user perceives and therefore increase engagement? It seems to make the likes muchyuekit
