> Realistically, they're probably going to have to do something about this much-hated "feature" for everyone anyway.
The question is though, is it a feature for some? If so, how many? Twitter's audience is huge. A couple thousand vocal users might be on the minority side.
Twitter is big enough now that it's not going to be able to do anything right in the eyes of everyone. But, they have a ton of data about usage patterns, and other data we don't. I'm willing to bet that the decision to include such a "feature" was backed up by real data.
I'm sure they'll release an update to give you the ability to turn off the "feature" of course, and this whole discussion will be pointless.
