When I first started at X, this is one of the things I did a deep dive on because I felt it was critical to the integrity of the experienced. I tasked our Threat Disruption team to investigate a number of trends that seemed artificial. The findings: We could not find meaningful examples of foreign interference in US policy discussions, except people gaming rev share in developing countries. This is what motivated the release of the Country of Origin feature and significant changes to the rev share algorithm. The most deranged & divisive replies generally were from residential IPs in the United States—with no signs of using a VPN. Ultimately, X is a reflection of the internet. And that means you will see the full spectrum of human thought. And sometimes the most outrageous takes will catch fire. Having said all of this, there can still be cases of narratives being boosted but the origin of the initial post is almost always domestic and we have hardened our systems in the last 3 months to prevent this.

"99% of crypto podcasts are old dudes saying things that are just incorrect" Katherine on how DEX in the City came into existence "There's too many crypto podcasts and a lot of them are terrible, they're regurgitating crypto Twitter. This has always been a source of frustration for me" "Jesse and I went to a Cubs game and it poured rain the entire time, so I was like, we should have a podcast, a podcast of women. We're constantly advocating in policy circles that crypto's not just filled with crypto bros, and we are a great example of that"
