A new feature was added to the tabulation panel attached to your tweets this week. A "View counts" tab shares how often your tweets have been seen -- unless that is a number you don't want to share, in which case the curious party is shown the above. To return, simply click "Dismiss". These clicks will be tabulated too.
I am among those who believe Captain Musk's game with Twitter is a long one, and that passive aggressive inclusions of "View counts" are designed to torment those who are content to be replied to, retweeted, liked and shared, but not seen. As in, The fuck you looking at! Or, How come you have way more followers than people viewing your tweets?
Are we approaching the "a la carte" era of Twitter, where you have to pay the platform to not provide what you don't want them to? Like negative billing? I recall a time back in the 1970s when B.C. Tel charged you more for "unlisting" your number than listing it.
