Rumors are going around that Twitter cripples tweets that include links.
There's nothing in their official documentation, but a lot of people think that's the case.
I thought this through, and I will not play along.

Allegedly, if I disable the links, my tweets will get much more impressions because Twitter will push them to more people.
Assuming this is the case, what's the cost?
My followers will have to start copying, then pasting any links that I post.

Seems like a small nuance, but reading comments on tweets with disabled links, the process is very error-prone and a lot of people have trouble accessing the content.
This is not what I want.

Disabling links is only self-serving. Nobody else benefits from me doing it. In fact, the tweets become worse for everyone!
This is exactly the opposite of what I want.
If impressions suffer because of it, so be it. At least those who see my content will enjoy it.
