This is what I'm talking about although when I first started seeing it there were like 4 different font sizes & I would always have to open a favorite user's profile in incognito mode to get rid of it
Looks like they rolled it out to everyone now though

the hilarious thing about that "how to get to the new profile" article on Techcrunch is that I've had a gigantic banner ad on my browser for at least the past week that said "CLICK HERE TO TRY THE NEW PROFILE"

man that big text thing for clicks is stupid

its a totally standard way to highlight something like do u think headlines in a newspaper shd all be the same size, if it was directly proportional to likes or whatever it wld be dumb but its just a way to give a few popular tweets more visual prominence, u cld argue its against the twitter cascade ethos but it def makes more sense than the lol big banner image
― lag∞n, Wednesday, 23 April 2014 15:32 (ten years ago) link
yeah but its stupid
― waterbabies (waterface), Wednesday, 23 April 2014 15:33 (ten years ago) link

waterbabies (waterface)Posted: April 23, 2014 at 3:33:00 PMyeah but its stupid
lol i luh u warerface

My position is that both the big banner image and the cascaded tweet font size both suck
Thank you very much for your time ladies and gentlemen

xpostsi'd be all for it if more retweets/favorites meant that something was actually better. but most of the time the popularity of a tweet has nothing to do with the quality of it. some celebrity can say "hot dogs" and it'll get a billion retweets, and on a smaller scale, someone with 5,000 followers can post the exact same link and garner way more interest than someone with 50 followers. the system is already tilted to reward people who are already well known, and making popular people's posts larger just tips the scale in that direction even more. it would be like if big corporations somehow had to pay less in taxes than smaller businesses and people...oh wait

what is needed is a lone employee at twitter who looks at every tweet and then gives it a quality rating from 1-10
― Karl Malone, Wednesday, 23 April 2014 15:53 (ten years ago) link
in a strange twist, twitter chooses ken jennings for the job and he only gives 10s to really boring things
HOT DOGS

― markers, Wednesday, 23 April 2014 16:42 (ten years ago) link
not that they've ever been known for their design outside of, like, paper
or that redesign they never officially rolled out to everyone
"artifcat" is a very disappointing Google search

imho facebooks design was one of the main things that made it successful, it was way ahead of its time, it started to get muddled as it tried to do everything in the world and serve ads etc, but it used to be pretty great from a ui/ux perspective
