Users on the social media platform X are expressing frustration over declining visibility and engagement with their posts. One user reported that their account, @AwakenedOutlaw, was hacked, and they are unable to regain access due to changes made by the hacker. This user has called for assistance from X's support team, highlighting a Catch-22 situation where they cannot verify their identity to recover the account. Other users have noted similar issues, with one mentioning a significant disparity between follower counts and post views, suggesting that the platform's algorithm may be affecting how content is shared. Complaints about the 'For you' tab, which prioritizes posts from users that individuals do not follow, have also surfaced, leading to decreased visibility for many users' posts. Overall, the sentiment among users indicates that recent changes to the platform's algorithm may have negatively impacted engagement metrics.
I pay a premium for @x and everytime I try to share a link to one of my posts they can’t see them. Been happening for a year @elonmusk Mind helping me out? It’s totally crippling visibility. https://t.co/dP0RCikFpH
Because of the "For you" tab, to which around 90% of users default. Twitter 1.0 had a "Tops" tab that suggests tweets from people you follow. "For you" suggests posts (mostly) from people you don't follow. Result: a significantly lower number of your followers see your posts. https://t.co/KnGRdk78hu
My posts on @X aren’t reaching my followers, impressions are way down from the last couple of weeks. I can’t figure out what has changed in the algorithm.
