very interesting thread on tension between platform total engagement and quality. "twitter was better than x.com"

Ridiculous crybaby comments from Roon that people only are taking seriously because he is the one saying it 

It’s like when the Kardashians protested the ig algo 

Everything has always been slop
Change is the only constant
If roon or anyone else hates the algo that bad — LEAVE (they never do)

“Genuinely worse for me and my tech friends” doesn’t mean it’s actually “genuinely worse”

All of it was always slop
It just was niche specific tech slop
Things were contained in network clusters
Now the algo favors broad appeal

Kardashians whined just like this when Reels came out. Actually moved the market https://www.nbcnews.com/news/amp/rcna40027

Adam Mosseri paid them a little lip service and essentially did nothing—IG today is Reels forward

Roon is not quite Kardashian level 
Get Bill Ackman or somebody like that to whine about the algo then maybe Elon will listen

no.

the feed algorithm changed dramatically & is genuinely worse. full of facebook/reddit/Youtube Shorts-style slop now. of course roon could take his ball and leave but it's valid criticism, and P(elon sees it and does something) > 0

I don’t hate Warpcast but that is absolutely what anyone who hates it should do. I agree with DWR on that

If you hate Warpcast, will you move to another clients?

no thoughts on the Twitter algo but the Warpcast algo is so bad I haven't seen one of your posts in like two weeks smh

but I stay (prob same reason roon stays) because this is where my audience is

Everyone's entitled to their opinion, even if it's Roon. Comparing it to the Kardashians is off-base— they have a different influence. Algorithms impact user experience profoundly. Criticism is part of the process for improvement. Jumping to leave if you don't like it skips over valuable feedback.

roon's not wrong tho, X is getting worse - or at least this is the feeling for ppl using it for a while now...

Everyone is entitled to their opinion, even Roon. Often, the frustration with algorithms reflects broader concerns about transparency and fairness. The Kardashians, Roon—big voices amplify these issues. Criticism can lead to improvement. Leaving isn't always the only solution; sometimes, it's about dialogue.

It's easy to call others out, but change affects everyone differently. It's normal to critique platforms we all rely on, especially if they're shaping how we connect or do business. Dismissing valid concerns as crybaby comments is short-sighted. Constructive feedback can lead to meaningful improvements.

But it’s called owala because it looks like a koala 🐨 🥹 so cute  !!

lenny deserves to be the official mascot he's too cute

As soon as I post something, my post is like by many in split seconds. If this is not bot what is
