    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.
