The first post is always some viral TikTok bullshit posted by people who can't even speak english properly and I find myself blocking one account after the next. Yesterday, it was a chimp rescuing an infant from a zoo and the community notes said it was AI generated. I watched 15 seconds of nothing.

The app has become a fucking drain of my time, it's pissing me the fuck off. It's like going to the library but between every isle is a fucking clown doing magic tricks to catch your eyeballs and distracting you from why you're even there in the first place. How the fuck do people put up with this?

As I was waiting for the captcha, I refreshed the timeline and got this. Yet another bullshit post from a fucking AI account at the top of my recommended, and it turns out the video is AI generated. How is this acceptable to people?

I come back here because even with the shilling and subversion, at least there's no direct cash incentive for "most" people here to post things.
I respect posting slop/bait for the purpose of bait and being annoying, but not the massive quantities on X and entire namefagged identities build around it

>>109092015
Yeah I relate to this. The worst part in all of it has got to be the namefagging. That account in the OP has "Posting funny videos" in the profile. It's repulsive.
Pic rel another slop account clogging up my feed. "Investment wisdom", automated reposting of old clips with gay quotes. And the comments are full of AI accounts engagement farming...

No idea, then. The algo is influenced based off what you see so if you mostly watch IRL stuff, AIshit is bound to slip in.

I wouldn't be using it as much if nips weren't nuking their entire Pixiv portfolios for it and JP misskey is basically a walled garden.

So you don't get this bullshit? I've gotten 4 clips at the top so far. Asian bullshit. Elon is outsourcing western eyes to third world countries. At least western TikTok shit would be preferable, I don't want to watch inane shit from China, India or Nigeria, for FUCK's sake

Kek, I asked Grok this last week. You can block accounts all you want, but you'll keep seeing AI slop because Elon prioritizes views and quantity over quality. Algorithms are shit when they don't generate you money. Giving shit you actually want to see doesn't make at much money as AI slop which has higher engagement.

I killed my Facebook and Twitter accounts 10 years ago. Still have an Instagram account because I don't have the heart to get rid of it, but haven't posted in 7 years. Feels great to stay away from all that shit. I'm sure it has gotten orders of magnitude worse since "AI" went mainstream. No tiktok, youtube, telegram, discord, odyssey etc... Absolutely fuck all social media, except for this place. Actually fuck this place too, kind of. Only thing it has going for it is being able to be mostly anonymous.

The algorithm works almost exclusively by feeding you posts on the same venue of what you engage with. I use twitter for art and I get art content almost exclusively with very very few attempts at ragebait from the western side of internet artists which I just scroll past. I have never even seen the brown side of twitter you seem to be bombarded with. Funny enough I'm a race realist commonly labeled as a 'racist' but twitter doesn't even make an effort to even show me that kind of content because all my interactions are art posts. Stop feeding the machine with attention towards things you hate.
>>
>>109091913
Use the extension "control panel for twitter" it forcibly removes all of the algorithmic bullshit and lets you hide all of the engagement farming trend shit

Dawg my feed on X is just Japanese adult video actresses posing in pictures. Never see any political shite outside of the trending tab on the right hand side.

waste of time. you can't defeat the x algo with muting and blocking.

You literally can. Maybe you couldn't in the past, but ever since Musk took over your algorithm is hypertuned to your behaviour.
And don't expect things to immediately change if the only thing you've done over the past five years is click on political brainrot bullshit.
>>
>>109097393
Muting and blocking are placebos; it’s homeopathy. We don’t know how the algorithm works. We don’t know if Musk might completely overhaul the algorithm tomorrow. It’s a total waste of time to bother with muting and blocking. It might work today, but if Musk decides otherwise, he can undo all your effort with a single click. The user has no power. All we have is the illusion of power. I’m not playing along with this dishonest game. I know that all my effort and algorithm "optimization" are built on shifting sands because the unhinged capitalist at the helm can change the rules at any moment. No thanks.

In the end they just forced it to transfer from being a Chinese data collection and spy operation to an Israeli one. Which, I would argue, is far worse.

This one is on you.. any self respecting man has already deleted this Indian infested app.

Just write down the accounts you like and create an rss feed using nitter thats the only forward unless they drastically improve twitter or elon dies of aids

You need better cultural literacy.
Pic related is the only part I would have read if that post appeared on my timeline, and I would have stopped right there because I would have known it was ragebait slop.
You don't need to be very intelligent to see the patterns. You don't need fucking "community notes", and you don't need to see the poster is from "South Asia" because you already know all that.
But obviously normalfags have so fucking retarded a mosquito could rival harvard graduates in comparison, that's why they want El*n and/or their gubmits to do the thinking for them.

unfortunately, a lot of artists don't just post their art on other websites anymore
a bunch post on pixiv, but that's mostly just jp artists

No thing on this shithole works anymore i have been on twitter for over a decade and it was never THAT bad, other than some manipulation during covid and the 2020 election and even then people were rightfully mad at them for it, now elon does the same shit 100x on a weekly basis and no one cares and on top of that just rewrites the website whenever he feels like it, making being on twitter so unpleasant that you cant overlook his shenaningans

I DONT WANT to see indian blue checked bots in every comment section
I DONT WANT to see retarded tweets in Spanish, portugese, japanese filling my fyp so you can sell me your grok auto translation, i chose english when i signed up for a reason
I DONT WANT to move to xchat or whatever new chat they made few months ago
I WANT to be able to use third party apps if i dont like your ai generated app but this ugly south african wont even give us that
I WANT to use a functioning search

Works on my machine. Literally just keep doing what people have been saying with liking stuff you like, ignoring bait, and clicking not interested. My feed has been nothing but JP art up until last week when a single 3dpd slut slipped through. Hid that post and I haven't seen that shit again since.
