Critical Perspectives

Community concerns and opposing viewpoints

1

Users distrust the Grok/transformer approach and resent automated curation — many complain “I don’t want my news from an autobot,” call Grok “puke” or “ass,” and say predictive ranking floods their feed with repetitive content shortly after a single engagement

The new monetization changes are blamed for crippling small and midsize creators — multiple posts say earnings and impressions plunged, making it “impossible” to earn or grow

3

There’s widespread frustration about drastically reduced visibility and erratic impressions — people report getting only a handful of views despite large followings and describe the feed as “trash” or “nothing is visible

” Low impressions and poor relevance are recurring complaints.

4

Many frame the system as an incentive-driven optimization game, not a neutral algorithm

open-sourcing the model is accused of turning content into score-chasing formats that force creators to adapt or vanish.

5

Calls for concrete action appear repeatedly — users ask to “roll it back,” demand better support, and some plead to “Save citizen journalism” (with targeted criticism like “#FireNikitaBier”)

6

Accusations of political bias and personalization failures surface

several say the feed over-promotes certain political content or personalities and misrepresents their interests.

7

A mixture of resignation and anger runs through replies — some users are ready to quit or stop using For You, while others beg for improvements and clearer explanations from the platform

The recent monetization change has destroyed every small and midsize creator on this platform. Save citizen journalism. #FireNikitaBier https://t.co/joylJH8cQe

Cool but everyone knows to stay off the For You tab already. :-/

I don’t want something deciding what it thinks I will like. The only one who knows that is me,let me decide for myself.

Supporting Voices

Community members who agree with this perspective

1

Open-sourcing is being celebrated as a major transparency win

Many replies call the move “huge,” “legendary,” and a trust-builder, praising X/Elon for letting the public inspect the production feed instead of hiding it.

2

Technical interest centers on the Grok-based transformer and multi-action predictions

Commenters highlight the model’s shift to predicting likes, replies, clicks, watches and more at once, and note the architecture is modular and cacheable.

3

Creators see a clear path to optimization

Threads emphasize that knowledge removes guesswork—people ask how to increase impressions, expect to tweak content to favor signals the model rewards, and claim small creators could benefit.

4

Key ranking signals are being called out repeatedly

dwell time (watch/stop), bookmarks, video watch time, and clicks. Several replies also mention author-frequency penalties, limited external links, and premium-user weighting as things that materially affect reach.

5

Requests for access and explanations are everywhere

users repeatedly ask “where’s the GitHub link?”, want plain-English or 10‑year‑old explanations, and seek simple guides and SDK support to experiment with the repo.

6

Concerns about feedback loops and reduced diversity are raised; some worry high-ranked content can self-reinforce and narrow what people see, while others point out heavy negative-signal weights (not interested, block, report) that can quickly hurt reach

7

Mixed skepticism about efficacy, but approval of transparency

a few replies call the algorithm “dumb” or uncertain it will work perfectly, yet most accept that showing the code is preferable to secrecy and will invite faster fixes and scrutiny.

8

Developers, researchers, and the community expect iterative innovation

With mentions of four‑week updates, people anticipate rapid evolution, community audits, new tools/SDKs, and experiments that could reshape how creators and platforms interact.

Transparency always breeds confidence. This is a solid step forward.
