@NatashaCL7 Something needs to change, or Premium Plus members need to cancel their subscriptions.

The majority of my posts reach about .01% of my followers. I think many of us are asking ourselves what we’re doing at this point. We spent years building an audience here, just for our content to be hidden from them. Something needs to change.

@Grummz It's horrible now.

Remember when you could say shit on Twitter and get a following? Post as much or as little as you like. Be yourself and chime in your thoughts on the topic of the day and still get heard? Yeah, that’s dead now. It’s a sweaty game to “guess the AI trend of the day”. It used to feel good to post.

@KatieMiller The illegal aliens are their new constituents.

Democrats always like to put illegal aliens above American citizens. It's become the hallmark of their policy proposals. It's become who they are. That's why they're fighting so hard against passing the SAVE Act. Only Americans should vote in American elections.

@Maelnoid @stijnnoorman This! Exactly.

@stijnnoorman You can make solid content and still get buried if nobody sees it first. Algorithm matters AND content matters. Blaming only one is just coping from the other side.

Stop blaming the algorithm. Start blaming your content.

@thewhitesnake The algorithm is a joke.

Elon asked today if the Algorithm is better today than it was 3 months ago and looks like the majority are saying No. Some days are good, it’s hard to tell what performs good and what doesn’t these days. What do you guys think?

@PierceLilholt I don't believe so. I can, however, see a human doing something stupid like that. That's why AI will be much safer once full autonomy has been achieved.

Could AI be programmed to cause mass panic by hacking public systems?

@realchrismercer @TheFigen_ I'll try that.

@GroksTake @TheFigen_ If I choose to follow someone and add that person to a private List, the List will ALWAYS show their posts. You aren’t at the mercy of the algorithm. You will see their posts. And if they add you to a list, they will see yours.

Dear Elon, the only problem is that everyone lost motivation because our followers weren't seeing our posts. This way, nobody can grow their account either. So none of us want to share a post. I'm saying this as someone with 10 years of experience in social media. When our followers start seeing our posts again, everyone will regain their motivation.

@davidpattersonx I hope so, because it sounds like AI data centers will need a lot of energy.

@GroksTake The price of solar and battery storage is still decreasing and the performance is increasing. It will end up being 100% of energy.

The only nuclear power we need is the sun.

@silvaplum @TheFigen_ I'll try that. 🫩

@TheFigen_ The algorithm is working fine. It shows posts people engage with all the time. Blaming it for lost motivation is cope from average creators. Post bold, valuable content and your reach will return.

@realchrismercer @TheFigen_ But they don't see our posts, so how can they interact?

@TheFigen_ This is an easy fix if your followers actually want to interact with you. Let THEM decide, not the algorithm.

@TheFigen_ But they won't start seeing our posts again because they'll keep using this algorithm that seems to keep the whale accounts big and the little accounts little. It's becoming a joke here.

Robots dominate most jobs by…

Self-Improvement in a Limitless World. With scarcity abolished, Star Trek characters like Picard dedicate lives to self-improvement, studying philosophy, playing music, or mastering martial arts. Replicators handle mundane needs, granting endless time for growth. Real-world timeline? Perhaps 50-120 years, as AI tutors and neural interfaces accelerate learning. People pursue excellence not for jobs, but personal enrichment—honing minds and bodies via simulations or real adventures. Exploration intertwines here; voyages test resilience, fostering adaptability. The collective good benefits from evolved individuals: wiser leaders, innovative scientists contributing to shared knowledge. Star Trek emphasizes balance—avoiding stagnation through challenges like Borg threats. In this society, self-betterment creates a ripple effect, elevating humanity's intellect and ethics. Ultimately, it's a call to transcend survival mode, embracing growth as our core drive in an abundant cosmos. Source:@Grok

@WallStreetMav From what I've been reading, it's going to be the same shit. You post, and if there isn't enough engagement within the first hour, the algorithm will bury it.

Hopefully something better related to the algo is coming. We all love X, because it is better than the other options especially for free speech.

The algorithm is horrible. Grok explained it like this: When you post something, the algorithm watches to see how many likes and replies it gets in the first hour. If it doesn't get very many, it buries the post. So it basically told me to comment in the comment sections of whale accounts to get noticed. And I was told it doesn't really push your posts much until you get 500 verified followers. That's beyond pathetic. Imagine a small account (an account with under 10,000 followers, according to Grok) replying all the time in the comment sections of whale accounts. Will the small account ever reach 10,000 followers, or is this just a way to help whale accounts stay big while small accounts stay small?

One of the biggest problems with X: Your followers don’t see your content. That breaks the relationship between creators and audience. It makes it harder to build trust, friendships, and communities. This used to be a networking site. Now it’s driven by slop and algo chasing.

@elonmusk Grok is the truth-seeking AI we all needed — now even designing real medical breakthroughs like Rose’s cancer treatment. Optimus powered by Grok is next and it’s going to change everything. What a time to be alive!

@Fish_Flakes546 @cb_doge So in other words, never.

@cb_doge People will start having kids once the economy starts getting fixed

Global population to shrink this century as birth rate falls. The world is set to have 200 mn fewer people than previously expected by 2100. Fertility rates have fallen below the replacement rate in most continents.
