Twitter rolls back forced Quote Tweet retweeting, admits defeat

Twitter has made a lot of changes this year, some of them quite controversial, like Stories, er, Fleets, and few of them were actually what users wanted, like editing Tweets. One of the social media giant’s small but contentious changes came on the road to the 2020 US Elections and pretty much forced users to Quote Tweet rather than simply retweeting a post. It didn’t sit well with Twitter users who also found a way around that anyway. Now Twitter is rolling back that change primarily because it didn’t really work the way they presumed it would.
