The reach issue: As of a few weeks ago low-effort quote posts are getting many times more home timeline recommendations than most original content, and even the posts they are quoting in many cases. Being controversial or not fitting inside specific boxes now causes Grok to be more likely to predict negative indicators, which carries a huge weight. Incentive structures are one of the most dangerous forms of censorship because it isn’t immediately obvious. Fixing this is extremely important for free speech @elonmusk and few understand how much. Another thing I noticed is that small accounts can post the same thing as big accounts (many hours later) and often get significantly more views. I fully support small accounts going viral, but only with high-effort original content. Then, as you get bigger, it becomes easier and easier to go viral. That way, when small accounts grow, it actually means something. Personally, my best thing is to cover events on live TV, get content nobody else has, then make original edits and posts with it. As of a few weeks ago, it is sadly now better again to post low-effort content. That takes away the excitement. The for you feed is not as fun as it was the first 6 months of the year. In my opinion it isn’t even close. I rarely sseldomisagree with anymore either. Why are the incentive structures turning this way? Who is making the decisions? I don’t see how it makes any sense and it is upsetting to feel helpless about it. I really hope that is changed because I miss doing what I was doing before and I miss the previous for you feed. I love spending 12-hour days making original content after big news events. There has to be reliability in going viral when you post high-quality content and have a large audience who enjoys it. Whatever part of the algorithm has taken those things away is demoralizing and is putting the platform on the wrong trajectory. I don’t want to sound ungrateful. The opposite! I am voicing this because I love the X and want it to be the best it can be.
