New algorithm for X went into effect today, January 19, 2025, aimed at supporting small creators by encouraging activities like posting, replying, sharing, and engaging.
Low scoring for political speech is still in effect.
the nature of your posts and interactions might not fully align with the platform's current emphasis on positivity and community engagement.
With the new system:
Positivity and Community Engagement: There's a greater emphasis on posts that foster a positive community environment. This includes content that encourages interaction in a constructive way, like asking questions, giving thoughtful replies, or sharing content that inspires or educates.
Content Quality: The algorithm now seems to prioritize the quality of interactions over sheer quantity. Posts that lead to meaningful conversations or share valuable insights are likely to be scored higher.
Creator Support: The new policy explicitly aims to support smaller creators, which suggests a shift towards rewarding content from accounts that are less established but bring fresh perspectives or content to the table.
Bias Towards Engagement Types: There's a noted preference for certain types of engagement, like sharing and replying, over others, which might not have been as pronounced before.
So political speech is discounted.
"community" means communism not individuality and free thinking.
You have to please the crowed.
It's for money.
We are lucky here on 8kun, even with all the trash, annoyances, and now, it seems, poseurs.
