I think you can only see impressions on your own tweets, so this is just enabling it for other people's tweets lol

Also I'm sure this will be funny when everybody can track the impressions hate speech is getting despite Musk's claims that they'll be "mega deboosted" lol

Hahaha it's another CMS/template change. "Oh I can expose this metric that we already have? Cool *clickety clickety* New feature!!"

Musk will do this to all of the Twitter Files and you will have to reply with "Concerning..." to unlock your account.

Goddamn, I already completely forgot about that stupid pledge to be hardcore, or whatever the hell he asked everyone to do only to have a poo poo ton of people quit.

You're misremembering; nobody quit because the pledge explicitly stated that if you didn’t opt in within 24 hours, you'd be fired by default and given three months’ severance (I think, I forget the exact number).

Obviously he assumed everyone was salivating at the prospect of working for tech genius Elon Musk under worse conditions and with no additional compensation and had not considered the possibility that people would opt out, but I like to imagine he also learned that people he did want to fire had generous severance packages in their contracts and thought this was a clever loophole to avoid paying them.

Hey guys, new idea. Scrolling Twitter now enforces a half-second delay before it loads the next tweet. You can bypass this by subscribing to Twitter Blue.

You can, yes

But displaying them publicly means now it's something that will attract bots and other forms of gaming which will hammer the backend and make it all stupid and useless, much like public web hit counters circa 1997
