What do the experts think about the major changes in the X recommendation algorithm?
How to translate
Yesterday, Musk announced two adjustments to the X recommendation algorithm:
One is to upgrade the AI ranking model to more accurately predict the user's stay time on posts; The second is to launch a new recall model that prioritizes recommending content that users are willing to read.
He also shared data stating that the active time of X users is growing exponentially, reaching new highs almost every day.
Key point: Content that can retain users and make it easier to obtain recommendations.
What do big shots think
中国 Chinese speaking region Support
one ️⃣ TechFlow @ techflowpost | XHunt Global Ranking: 680
Judgment: Shift from rewarding "light interaction" to rewarding "deep reading".
Viewpoint: Posts with exaggerated titles and empty content may be downgraded, and traffic will give people content that they can read. For project parties and KOLs, the approach to creating content needs to change accordingly.
two ️⃣ Blue Fox @ lanhubiji | XHunt Global Ranking: 1418
Judgment: Simple traffic posts are becoming increasingly difficult to hide from AI.
Viewpoint: Overall, higher quality posts are more advantageous.
three ️⃣ Leo @ runes_1eo | XHunt Global Ranking: 14854
Judgment: Don't force the algorithm to be long, just write until the other party is willing to read it.
Viewpoint: He compared his 366 posts and found that posts with 280-500 words had the highest exposure, and one "not interested" could offset about 79 likes.
question
one ️⃣ BlockBeats @ blockbeatsya | XHunt Global Ranking: 1355
Judgment: Longer dwell time does not necessarily mean higher content quality.
Viewpoint: It should be noted that there is currently no independent data to verify the statement of 'reaching a new high in active duration'.
two ️⃣@ Xincctnnq @ xincctnnq | XHunt Global Ranking: 3346
Judgment: Can this algorithm not be changed? It's too annoying.
Viewpoint: I think short posts with a few sentences are the most disadvantageous, which is equivalent to forcing everyone to write long nonsense.
three ️⃣ Bulbasaur @ nintendodoomed | XHunt Global Ranking: 4711
Judge: Does Lao Ma want to do Tiktok.
Viewpoint: Ranked according to the length of stay and the completion rate, it is the Tiktok "completion rate". I am worried that X is becoming more and more like a short video platform.

one ️⃣ Rohan Paul @ rohanpaul.ai | XHunt Global Ranking: 7415
Judgment: The new sorting model is reinforcing the existing objectives, and the second modification is applied to the earlier recall stage.
Viewpoint: AI industry leader, dismantled from a technical perspective. He pointed out that posts that users often swipe away halfway through will be more difficult to push to unfamiliar readers.
two ️⃣ Captain Eli @ TheCaptainEli | XHunt Global Ranking: 147678
Judgment: Reward anger, and you will receive anger; Reward depth, people will think before posting.
Viewpoint: He elevated this change to "improving incentive mechanisms" and concluded with the sentence "no one can land on Mars by just a quick glance".
three ️⃣ Victor @ TheVictorbuilds | XHunt Global Ranking: 109191
Judgment: This style of play is being eliminated from the root. Stop optimizing for clicks and start optimizing for reading.
Viewpoint: He believes that the gameplay of relying on brushing volume and thin content in the cryptocurrency and financial circles will become ineffective. Projects that rely on speculation will naturally have their traffic suppressed, and solid in-depth analysis will be more popular.
question
one ️⃣ Fityeth @ Fityeth | XHunt Global Ranking: 3420
Judgment: Is this the end of the title party or just a new volume boosting game?
Viewpoint: There is only one sentence, but when asked about the point: will "completion rate" become a new indicator that can be flashed out.
