The conspiracy theory is that Twitter is trying to trick users into looking at Moments by putting the tab where Notifications used to be.

Moments is an important new product for Twitter.

The company even launched an ad campaign recently to promote Moments, but the commercials were criticized for not doing a good job at explaining what the feature is for.
