Do links hurt
news publishers
on Twitter? Our
analysis
suggests yes
- Major
outlets like
The New York
Times include
links in
~88–98% of
tweets, yet
average only
~383
engagements
per post
despite tens
of millions of
followers.
- Accounts
that post 0%
links
(aggregation-style)
average around
8,400+
engagements
per tweet,
outperforming
large
publishers by
20× or more
with far
smaller
audiences.
- Although
X drives only
~1.5% of
publisher
traffic, most
outlets still
optimize for
clicks instead
of
engagement—while
outliers like
Fox News (only
~9% link
usage) achieve
significantly
higher
interaction.
