Twitter ends 'Quote Tweet' prompts, retweets back as before
Twitter on Wednesday said it will no longer automatically show the 'Quote Tweet' prompt when users try to retweet something. It added its goal through the feature was to "encourage more thoughtful amplification", which "didn't happen in practice". Twitter said the use of Quote Tweets increased, but 45% of them included single-word affirmations and 70% had less than 25 characters.
