Missing from this list are things that are not direct competitors, but where creators have monetized brands that they're motivated to promote on Twitter, including: YouTube, OnlyFans.
I suspect that promoting blog articles on Medium and Substack is still OK.
I also see TikTok getting incidentally promoted on other sites (even if it's by stealing content originally from TikTok, or referring to TikTok fads).
No mention of Reddit, which could be very similar to Twitter (but better), but historically has de-emphasized user profiles/identities.
Is Twitter focusing on competitors that permit user-profile-centric sharing sites?
(BTW, nice of them to give everyone a list of competitors they feel threatened by.)
It is likely if Twitter had its monetized video platform that is in the works up and running, sharing a link to your youtube and other video sharing sites might also of been on the list, as the list is meant to chain and jail you to Twitter.
My guess is that they reverse course on this policy in 1-3 weeks. But my track record in this matter isn't great: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=33466363 (tldr I predicted Twitter wouldn't change very much)
