Link suppression is contested. Nikita says they're not deboosted. This guy tested it, found evidence they're no longer deboosted: https://x.com/phl43/status/2041893735827460446?s=20

Nikita says they were "never" deboosted, but Musk said they were going to do that and it was a huge topic...?

He says here about an interface change. I've noticed this change. The sites are opening in a kind of sub window with the feedback UI still visible. I found this annoying but now I see the point.

Sometimes it's not just about quantity. Not all impressions are equal.

And like it or not - Twitter is still the preferred communication platform of quite a few influential people.
