Elon Musk's New X Algorithm Prioritizes Verified Subscribers, Aims to Curb Coordinated Attacks
Dec 27, 2024, 03:00 AM
Elon Musk has introduced a new algorithm on X, formerly known as Twitter, designed to maximize 'unregretted user-seconds.' This update means that accounts blocked or muted by a significant number of verified subscribers will experience a notable decline in reach. Musk's strategy aims to enhance user satisfaction by prioritizing content from high-quality accounts while monitoring and penalizing coordinated attacks and manipulation attempts. Critics have expressed concerns over the potential for this system to be exploited, suggesting it could lead to shadow banning and influence political discourse on the platform.
