These are from @grok imagine. Do I get to sit at the cool kids table yet (or are we still playing pretend?)

Any acct with 10k+ since the purge out here like

@FlohCreative @boneGPT Certainly how it sounds and feels out there

@TonyJMatos @boneGPT honestly, since the brands and journos left it's likely something like 50 accounts all juiced to 10k+ with east asian followers

1.5m followers 68 likes .00453% engagement rate How fake is the whole Balaji phenomenon?

The Japanese understand the assignment I bow fully and formally and then a kneel

@Art_If_Ficial They really did a number on folks!

@TonyJMatos The classic ebb and flow of “replying too much is bad” and “replying too little is not good”

Where have all the reply guys gone?

@teortaxesTex Big respect to someone who doesnt kiss the ring and bend the knee like these other tech accts. This is refreshing to see.

Elon making excuses for xAI losing momentum be like

Religious people telling you about computers Computer people telling you about religions Artists not creating and seething And laymen thinking they are Spielberg Welcome to the end of the internet :)

@ETHYSTskincare Lmao

I felt this deeply. And while this will also likely go nowhere, I feel compelled to share, so I'm going to. Both Stephanie and I (among a few others I'm connected to) have created an abundant amount of original content for this platform. We are both real professionals with real businesses and real educational content that people explicitly followed us for and actively search for. And yet somehow, despite having thousands of followers - that we worked tirelessly to connect with organically - our posts regularly reach almost nobody now. The content didn't suddenly become bad. People didn't stop caring. The system changed. And it began rewarding grifting and slop over everything. The platform knows that's true, which is why they constantly make public posts trying to make it seem like they're attempting to get rid of all the things people complain about. The explanations around the algorithm increasingly feel like PR insulation instead of transparency or what Elon would call "Maximum Truth Seeking". Meanwhile certain accounts are visibly amplified, monetized, and pushed into feeds, while smaller creators, the ones actually feeding the system with their truly original content, get buried and told to “make better content” or “post more.” But wait a minute... post more? People were literally told to reply hundreds or thousands of times a day to qualify for monetization. People poured insane amounts of unpaid labor into this platform because they were sold the idea that they could build income and visibility here. Most never got paid anything meaningful and many never got support or any answers on how come they weren't... even though they were pouring themselves into this platform. “You can make a living on X” became: work endlessly for engagement scraps while the goalposts move constantly. And now, on top of it, users are being told they must post less. And the lack of accountability is staggering. Last year someone literally used my registered trademark and claimed they created my skincare line. Registered trademark symbol included and everything. I filed a formal legal complaint with X. I didn't receive any response and no action was taken. Shortly after, my analytics completely cratered. Likely due to being mass reported by the network that infringed upon my trademark in the first place and due to the easily weaponized parameters put in place regarding mass reporting by the platform. I went from getting millions of views (including one post with 1.5 million views) to struggling to hit 30-300 views consistently. Meanwhile platform leadership publicly accuses accounts of “content theft,” only for people to discover the supposedly “stolen” content was itself taken from creators on other platforms. Like the recent post about the @Rainmaker1973 account. Claiming that this account stole content from another smaller account. Rallying the masses to go against an account that they all likely used to get monetized in the first place. An account that Elon himself has been subscribed to and has reposted on numerous occasions. And come to find out, the account they tried to get everyone to rally behind was also "stealing" the content from YouTube. And just putting their watermark on it like they owned it. This shows us that X has absolutely no understanding of where any of the content on it's platform is truly coming from. That they are just picking and choosing who to ship into the ether and who to demonetize. In response, the head of product, shared that it was seemingly ok to steal the content as long as you're the first one to do it and aren't a "big account hijacking views" from other accounts. (screenshot below) Then, claiming again that they will reward original creators and live streamers more in the coming weeks, but this is what has been said for years with no change. It's essentially the boy who cried wolf at this point. So what's actually real? Are there standards? Or are we just watching selective enforcement and narrative management in real time? At some point, paying users deserve transparency, actual support, and honest communication instead of endless gaslighting about reach, monetization, and visibility. Small creators are not asking for charity. We do the work. We've been doing the work for years. We’re asking for our followers to actually see the work they chose to follow us for. That should not be controversial. If you follow me, are interested in skin science, and want to see the information I post, please consider turning on my notifications. The good thing in all of this is that community can overcome corporate when we band together and support one another. And P.S. Stephanie is not wrong regarding the rights of consumers, which are often made to seem as if they have little to no weight here. If you have paying customers, you are required to ensure they know what they're paying for as well as support any issues they are having with your product or any promises you made.

I think some these big acct mfers are low key masochists and they edging off all this

@TonyJMatos You can make a living on X!

Step one: create the GC and invite the poasting goons, goonettes and goblins alike

@colinjfleming @OpenAI @thsottiaux @sama @gdb @dhdresser @DaneVahey @jasonkwon So marketing will essentially be getting a GC going and having these TPOT mfers meme you onto the right path?
