X plans to remove news headlines and text in shared articles

X (formerly known as Twitter) is planning to make major changes to the way shared articles appear on the platform, removing text elements and leaving only lead images with an overlay of the URL.

Key Points:

1. The removal of text elements aims to improve aesthetics, make posts less compact, and fit more posts in the timeline that appears on screen.
2. Elon Musk, CEO of X, supports the new format and believes it could help reduce clickbait.
3. X may be implementing this change to encourage individuals and news publications to write longer posts directly on the platform, potentially providing more context to the shared URLs.
