X Head of Product Nikita Bier Debunks Social Media Myth

X Head of Product Nikita Bier refuted a common social media myth on May 31, directly addressing the Vatican's account that embedding a link in an X post does not reduce its reach. According to BeInCrypto, Bier responded to a post by @Pontifex, the Vatican's official account, which included a link to Pope Leo XIV's encyclical. Bier clarified that links do not deboost posts, countering a widespread belief that linking to external sites suppresses post visibility. Bier's statement carries significant weight given his role overseeing X's ranking and recommendation systems.
