I am building a web application for all creators to manage their incomes, places they spent, their ideas, how much they earn as a business and analytics based on this. Any suggestions?

@cb_doge @elonmusk Today every major news or tech announcement takes place at X. All major discussions, founders taking direct user feedback - this system only exists here.

X is the most powerful platform in the world. Today, the Prime Minister of India himself used X to fact-check a major news claim and directly tell people the truth. That’s the power of X. X is not just a social media app. It is the world’s real-time public square.

@billainsahu I understand but I am curious about how the algorithm is pushing content vs how it previously was.

@shashankmodi_ Give some time dude

It's interesting to see a platform behave so differently and how much it can impact a creator. As a new creator, the attention I get now compared to previous algorithm is way less. I don't think this is enforced this way but I am very curious to figure out what causes this.

@AgentPhoneHQ @ycombinator @themeetmodi @manav2modi That’s great then, I anyways do not object this being possible because anyways this was coming sometime soon. But even though a robust compliance is in place, some situations can go out of hand that was my concern. Good luck to your team though!

@shashankmodi_ @ycombinator @themeetmodi @manav2modi That’s why the compliance infrastructure is already built in

The $2T telecom industry was built for humans. @AgentPhoneHQ is rebuilding it for agents. One API gives every AI agent its own phone number and a trusted identity to reach the real world. Congrats on the launch, @themeetmodi & @manav2modi! ycombinator.com/launches/QNE-a…

@ilyamiskov The ones who are truly tasteful will follow only what their heart leads to, and no rules.

Obsessiveness with rules in design is just an escape for those lacking taste.

@github did really cook with this one.

Indecision is the biggest friction anyone can have at anything be it relationships or career. If you are between two nodes and have not decided to go with one, you won’t have any of the two. Just choose.

Every huge company today is involved in AI. Google, OpenAI and Claude are amongst the leaders but there’s microsoft involved, Nvidia indirectly and many more. Apple has lost a huge ride by not getting their hands into this. How did they not see it coming?

@shalafinesa Das ist sehr gut.

clean house, food to eat, business going great and an amazing husband. whaaaat more can you ask from this life🥹

@elonmusk Only guy who can decide to take his algorithm to open-source in 30 mins.

Only 𝕏 is open, the other social media companies manipulate the results behind closed doors

Announcing out of nowhere that the algorithm is going to be open-source and nobody will get to blame the algorithm now. Feeling sad about this.

All traditional job paths can today safely be considered inferior in terms of money & freedom. Content creators and dropouts are the most successful people today because they decided to take the unconventional path, trusting their gut and serving people.

@kritikakodes In terms of money & freedom, content creation might be the top most career path today.

I think content creation is beating software engineering. In terms of Money & Freedom.

You are right about this but the scale at which they operate, they could’ve at least tried to capture both the aspects why only hardware and ecosystem. We can’t tell anyone how to run the company but we surely are critiques that help in feedback for the company maybe to do better.

@shashankmodi_ Apple saw it. They just bet on hardware and ecosystem lock-in over model building. Whether that was blind or strategic we'll know in 3 years.

This is the reason the guy is unstoppable. He’s openly come out to address his customer and explain what’s fair. Even I felt like I didn’t get reach but now this is a good explanation. @elonmusk is great at handling negative situations and this is a pure lesson on how product feedback should be handled to retain customer.

@LinusEkenstam The algorithm has been lately promoting what it feels is being talked about a lot and what is ‘hot’ right now. But this will make the genuine ones who truly post quality to start becoming desperate.

This is how the algorithm can completely destroy your reach over night. This is the last: Left: 3 months Right: 2 weeks Super consistent 85-95% drop on all metrics. everything after a viral post going ballistic, I tried everything, cool down, delete low quality posts, block bot accounts. Kept posting after cool down, nothing really breaks through. Short hot takes 🛑 Long form with good signal 🛑 Viral potential post 🛑 Core audience value post 🛑 What bothers me here is that 48h after posting a mega viral post I get suppressed back to the Stone Age. This follow previous situations I’ve had with the grok powered algorithm. Where it feels like tweepCred falls far below a certain level, and you’re locked into a low reach prison with every effort to break out is making it harder and harder to do so. I’m asking for transparency on what we can do as content creators when this happens. I don’t want to spam my way out of this. I’d like to know, if I did something wrong, how I can address it, take the responsibility of algorithmic suppression for what ever the length is. But this limbo is most likely going to make me leave the platform.

@Cudi7x @LinusEkenstam This is not something to chase but if you build your accounts for the payout, how is this wrong? This is obviously allowed from X’s end and some people do consider it as their income source.

@LinusEkenstam Just don’t be on X because you want something back, stop chasing that. Be here, be present, and tweet genuinely about what you actually care about, don’t chase payouts or external validation.

@rauchg Being able to use agents to do something is cool and all but if you can do something naturally and then use agents and AI tools to boost your output, you will be the most valuable person out there.

If you become exceptional at managing agents, but are also exceptional in your understanding of the fundamentals, you will be unstoppable. We all prefer to work with masters of their craft. What’s new: you can’t afford to miss out on the amplification agents have on your output
