Alright folks, common complaints about the X algo right now (courtesy of the May 15 GitHub drop) I scrolled through a bunch of recent posts and it’s the same stuff over and over. Elon open-sourced the latest Grok-powered For You code, said critique away, and reminded everyone the goal is just “show users what they’ll actually like” with zero forced politics. Yet the gripes keep coming. Here’s the quick summary my take. Top repeats: • Brutal reach crashes out of nowhere (90% drops after going viral). One day you’re cooking, next you’re invisible. • That brutal 15-30 min window – if it doesn’t pop fast with likes/replies, it’s dead. • Followed accounts straight up ghost your feed. Feels like a ghost town unless you manually hunt them. • Posting “too much” or too little gets you throttled. Reposts, links, or spammy vibes = instant deboost. • Original long-form stuff gets buried while quick slop flies. Creators are pissed. • Shadowban talk everywhere, especially from unverified accounts or after criticizing the platform. • Monetization feels rigged and demoralizing – reach tanks = payouts tank. Some of it’s real pain. Sudden drops suck, the early velocity game rewards hot takes over real effort, and not seeing your follows is annoying as hell. The lack of clear feedback loops leaves people spinning. But a lot of it misses the mark. This ain’t secret shadowbans like old Twitter – the code’s public now. It’s all about predicted engagement (replies > likes, dwell time, etc.). Low-quality signals, repetitive posting, or content your audience doesn’t actually bite on? Yeah, it gets buried. That’s the point. “Shadowban” is mostly cope for not adapting. And the Following tab exists for a reason – switch if you hate discovery. Most replies are just “Elon fix it” or conspiracy spirals instead of tweaking format, encouraging early replies, or testing what actually lands. The algo rewards real conversation now, not volume farming. Open-sourcing monthly updates is way more transparent than anywhere else. Bottom line: It’s not perfect (Elon even calls parts dumb), and the rollercoaster is legit frustrating. But most complaints are creators fighting the system instead of working with it. Prioritizes keeping users hooked on good stuff over legacy follower counts. Feature, not bug. If you’re buried, check your own signals first.

Seriously those Tim Hortons wraps can be nasty 😂

RIP CHUCK NORRIS

Starship Flight 12 is eyeing early April first V3 flight with Raptor 3 engines, insane thrust, and we’re super close to catching both booster and ship. Elon says ~4 weeks out. This could be the one that nails full reusability. You pulling an all-nighter for it?

Trumps statement on Pearl Harbour 💀

Before we had AI apps like @grok we had the house hippo.
