i don't see that it's functionally any different than what was displayed in that gif. In both cases there's a card to the longer content that needs to be clicked on.

If your argument is that no-one will click on the card then twitter notes will fare no better because it's literally the same presentation.

You're right: it isn't functionally different. But the quantified user behaviour absolutely is.

I don't read thread, but I click on link to articles.

I believe it. Perhaps you are not representative of the general population.
