few things: 1- said quiet part out loud: reach is capped daily. was this ever disclosed? bc blaming users for not optimizing around a hidden constraint is kinda messy. 2- avg user sees 20–30 posts, since when? users spend an avg of 30 min a day on x. at a normal scroll speed, you see that in under a minute. that’s like 150–300 posts per day, conservatively. forgive me if i’m wrong, but the platform built for high-volume, fast takes, no? 3- replying for content discovery isn’t new and neither is daily gm’s. it’s always been the primary content discovery method. when native reach collapsed, replies became the only reliable path to organic visibility, bc now an accounts following doesn’t even see what they post. this outcome want produced by users…? 4- disconnect seems to be collapsing different behaviors into one bucket. incentive driven spam increased bc monetization and opaque algorithm changes rewarded scale and repetition so spam adopted patterns that already existed. real users didn’t suddenly change how they use platform if using it as designed now puts users in algorithmic h3ll, then the product is failing, not users. genuine long standing credible users shouldn’t be penalized for incentive driven spam. if the platform is trying to compete with another platform (the long form newsletter one) then, like, just say that?

NEW: @X HEAD OF PRODUCT @nikitabier SAYS "CT IS DYING FROM SUICIDE, NOT FROM THE ALGORITHM" - "CT ENDS UP WASTING ALL THEIR REACH ON REPLYING “GM” HUNDREDS OF TIMES AND WHEN THEY FINALLY POST REAL CONTENT LIKE A PROJECT ANNOUNCEMENT, IT ONLY GETS SHOWN TO 3 PEOPLE"
