In the last few days, Twitter has updated the design of its buttons to place the content, making them white on a branded blue background. However, these buttons can be used for a short time because of another change - deleting the placement counter.

🚀 Before that, placement meters on articles, products pages, and almost everything else on the Internet have acted as social evidence. Users, consciously or unconsciously, evaluate the quality of content based on whether other users shared it.

💡 However, despite this, the content buttons are rarely used - between Klout, Buffer and simple copying and inserting, the big role buttons do not play, which is actually important - this is the number of placements.

  • 📌 Twitter decided to update the design of its buttons to place content.
  • 📌 The placement counter was removed, which caused outrage among the developers.
  • 📌 To obtain content spread statistics, you need to contact the Twitter commercial unit.
  • 📌 Removing the placement counter can cause the site owners to delete the button.
🧩 Summary: The changes made by the Twitter, including the updated content of the content buttons and removal of the placement counter, can have a great impact on the behavior of users and the reputation of the platform.
🧠 Own considerations: although Twitter is a business and should monetize its platform, it is also important to take into account the needs of users and developers. These changes can repel users, which can adversely affect the financial stability of the platform. This is an important point for all online platforms that use social buttons to disseminate content.
