X has gotten significantly worse for me. For what it's worth, I am not super anti-Elon or super left-leaning, and I only say that because I'm sure a lot of people may think I'm biased because of some political leaning. I'm really not. The service has just gotten worse, and I feel like I see enough people saying it's gotten better for them and I don't know what to make of it (maybe I'm going through some sort of psychosis). Either way it has caused me to significantly slow down on posting.
- my feed is significantly more rage-baity both from bot accounts (to be expected) and personal accounts (assuming they get paid for engagement?)
- lots of AI slop reply comments which destroyed the fun of feeling like I'd get a real conversation under every post
- way more onlyfans / porn accounts self-promoting
- lots of genuine racism and way more gender war stuff than I remember
>The service has just gotten worse
the story of literally every product Elon has been involved in for the last 26 years.
Oh the monetization made it noticeably worse. I've been pretty active in tpot/tech twitter and it practically happened overnight. Posters figured out the best way to get engagement was to write things that are incorrect but plausibly believable to generate controversy.
It became so grating, so many people turned into rage baiters.
And you get to see complete outright racism unchecked. Like comments saying the most vile stuff, like calling something a jewish conspiracy, and they don't even get ratioed. Embarrassing to see it.
How far left do you have to be to oppose white supremacy?
