Does anybody know how the 'Readers added context' feature works? It seems to be really effective and I'm surprised it was invented by X of all places.

It was added by Twitter before Elon broke it.

"Trusted individuals" get to propose context, and it's vetted by a bunch of other trusted individuals. Everyone then votes if it's good or not. Context that is too contentious will probably get removed. If you keep proposing notes everyone hates then you lose the status.

That sounds quite neat

Just watch, somebody will use it on one of Elon's tweets and he will take offense to that and the feature will be obliterated.

People have called him out by using it multiple times. I seriously think he has no idea how to get rid of it.

But he's a super smart and advanced programmer!

Who gets to say who is a trusted individual?
