Elon Musk Removes Bold Text from X's Main Timeline

The decision aims to reduce 'engagement farming' and improve readability on the social media platform.

Effective immediately, bold text will no longer appear directly in the main timeline on X.
Users will need to click on individual posts to view any bold text formatting.
Musk cited excessive use of bold fonts as detrimental to the platform's visual appeal and readability.
The change also applies to italics and other text formatting, which Musk claims are being misused for 'engagement farming.'
X introduced text formatting options, including bold and italics, in April 2023 as part of its expanded post features.
