i think in this case we also want to consider...

do not click a twitter link

... as the article states, it is the traffic, itself, that they want.

Even better. Don't click on Twitter and don't engage with trolls in any format.

Thanks for reminding me to add twitter.com and x.com to my dns blacklist. I'm up to three URLs. I'll let you guess what the other one is.

Don't they want to reduce traffic since they can't pay their bills?
