If you're an artist using Twitter as a platform, then you should know that Elon recently revealed exactly how the X algorithm works and that it treats youre account on the basis of a kind of "social credit score" and it determines how your posts interact with other users and who can see your posts.Some of these can ding your score and harm your exposure:>Low text quality (misspellings or tweeting like a moron)>Replying to accounts that don’t follow you>Spammy posts>Being a new account- you start at -128 tweepcred when you sign up. You need a minimum score of 17 to be seenShadowbanning:A label gets applied to your account, which destroys your reach on the site.Here are all the labels that can be applied to you (some interesting ones here):Low quality tweets, spam, toxicity, untrusted URL (lol), NSFW, gore, or mentioning a person multiple times
Offensive usernames, or terms can also contribute to your account being deboosted
>>7813687so you're telling me that calling myself xxx_niggergravedigger69_xxx is a bad idea?
>>7813686>Replying to accounts that don’t follow youBut thats just the intended way to use Twitter? To interact with others peoples post? Not everyone is going to follow you.
I honestly do not use social media anymore.If you're not prisoner to the algos, you'll just be a victim to other users.
I use it as a gallery (just posting art and nothing else) and it works fine
>>7814066Do you dig nigger graves or are you a nigger who digs graves?
>using twitter in 2025Imagine that
>>7814090>>7814066>coon who digs gravesMy next art project,thnx idea guy.
I've been on twitter since 2015 and my posts have been doing better than ever with this new algo, even better than when I bought the checkmark to test it. It seems to be prioritizing organic non-controversial accounts, which is what artists mostly are. I am pissed about the links though, twitter already implemented a "stay on twitter app" with outside links so why is it still so bothered you add a link to a patreon/shop?Still, I can't complain too much, my account is reinvigorating. I don't draw porn tho, so no idea how this algo is doing with nsfw artists
>>7813687>>7813686there really need to be laws in place that require tech companies to tell you when your reach is being limited and why. this shit isn't just censorious, it's deceptive as well.
>>7813686Don't fall for larpers and crabs on /ic/.
>>7814265picrel>>7814290Yeah, past month or two I went from a couple hundred likes on posts to a couple thousand. I don't know if gork is doing it yet, but whatever they're doing it seems to be working.
>>7814312That was literally announced several hours after the alogorithm was revealed by Musk so how is it a "larp" you dumb ESL
>>7814337Unironic kino composition, props anon.
>>7814066Yes but xxx_ElonMuskDickIsHuge69_xxx will get you a massive boost, probably more than any blue checkmark.
>>7814290NSFW is still penalized in tweepcred and search/suggestion banned I believe. You still basically need big accounts retweeting you if your art's gonna get traction.
>>7814300LOOOOOOOLPRIVATE WEBSITE YOU DUMB FUCK
>I've been doing pretty much anything on the list short of calling people slurs and dedicating my child porn to Adolf Hitler like that nullpo guyAnd here I thought my art sucked dick while it's only the algorithm hating me and my art sucking dick
>>7813686Elon Musk is a rat bastard piece of shit, but people deflect it like crazy.
>>7813686>Low text quality (misspellings or tweeting like a moron)I already ignore these accounts. When you see broken text and punctuation it’s either ESLs, children, or adults with the mentality of children.
>>7814337I can dig it
>>7814577don't think i know that? laws can be written that affect private entities too.
Musk already said that he recognizes that its a really flawed system and plans on fixing it soon.
>>7814074Yeah, its retarded I dont get why this negatively impacts your account either.
>>7814363Are you legitimately retarded? The man himself said it doesn't work like that any more. And anyone who actually post regularly knows that. Larpers and crabs of /ic/, I fucking hate you guys.
>>7815169Do you legit have autism? He announced it hours after the information in OP's post became public.
>>7813686Say that I've been only uploading black&white hatching artworks to my timeline, would suddenly uploading a color art ruin the algo?
>>7813686So it's futile now to use X to build a fanbase from 0 if you're mainly drawing gangbang hentai?
Elon is retarded, most of the stuff i posted normally months ago now is censored for adult content, and they're just sexy stuff, not even naked
>>7815368There's likely a dynamic tolerance system, like if you post porn five times in a row it'll flag the next one if it thinks there's a 60% chance it's porn instead of 80 or whatever the normal number is.Most of my mildly sexy content doesn't get flagged when it's between landscapse studies and safe cartoon fanart but when I spend a week pornmaxxing any subsequent bit of exposed skin gets nuked instantly for the rest of the month.
>>7815010get a job
>>7815408It's genuinely baffling why uploaders aren't allowed to just tag if their post is nsfw or not.
>>7815408>>7815735so wait, does it not matter if you tag your posts NSFW, it will still hurt your account anyway?
>>7815735You can, actually, just click the paintbrush button on the top left of the image, it opens another window where you can crop it, add the alt text for blind people, and tell daddy Musk it's heckin' problematic.People just never do it because it's annoying as fuck, you have to know it's there, and they found out being a good boy gets you shadowbanned just as hard, if not even harder.They probably had an intern put it there to comply with EU regulations or something but it's completely useless. At best they used flagged posts as a dataset for the porn detector.
>>7813686Is it over now for NSFW artists?
>>7815987it always was.
so if I buy the premium+ package I get more exposure than the premium? oof. paying for social media ...
>>7815993it says 'reply boost'; it doesn't mean your original post would get more exposure, just that your replies/comments to other peoples' tweets would be more visible like it'll appear at the top rather than lower (or hidden) since you know, SOCIAL MEDIA which also means shitty pointless shill replies will get your account deranked
>>7815993LOL. At that point you can rent a VPS and a decent chunk of CDN.
>>7814337Filename is 10/10 but he could be more nigga
>>7813686>mentioning a person multiple timesSo if you draw your waifu every day you get fucking shadowbanned...
Can some rich nigger buy tumblr and make it great again?
>>7815766>being a good boy gets you shadowbanned just as hard, if not even harderThis is why I fundamentally distrust these civility features and anyone actually using them. If you comply, then you're just constructing the system that is going to fuck you later. Everyone should actually be a dick if the only other alternative is that eventually everything is banned. Making these things absolutely ineffective is a moral necessity.
I hope it's nothing but I've got a really bad feeling about the shit they're about to do... Whatever they end up doing, you know it's not gonna be good for artists in general.It feels like my X followers are becoming worthless. Bluesky doesn't feel good either for now. Where the fuck are we supposed to go?
>>7816199I can't believe i'm saying this, but I actually do miss Tumblr, now.
>>7815158because elon is a retard and wants a cheap way to counter all the crypto bots pretending to be him you see in every single reply chain
>>7813686I thought everyone knew this already?This has been mostly public since Sep. It made me realize what a terrible platform for artists that shithole is. Pretty much doing anything negatively impacts your "social credit score".We need to figure out a way to revive Deviantart or Tumblr or something.
>>7816772https://xcancel.com/Scobleizer/status/1996851528259588447Holy redundancy Batman. Was this whole post AI generated?
>>7813686>NSFWWhat's the fucking point, then?
>>7816816>Downrankspamreplyuqfnonfollowertweetlabelrule>Shit's probably an enum so there's a tweetlabelrules[followertweetlabelrules].get(Downrankspamreplyuqfnonfollowertweetlabelrule).getinstance().apply() somewhereNow I'm one of those back-end apes so I don't know what REAL programming is and can't understand the sheer genius of Lahore's finest minds but how the fuck is the website still up and how the fuck isn't every checkmark user's credit card info already for sale somewhere
This thread is full of people malding that their lowqualitytweets aren't pityviral
>>7816820It's what frightens me, if they need to hook their brain on chatgpt life support to write a fucking tweet I can't imagine all the subhuman vibe coding going on behind the scenes >>7816835Feels like we're another trash update away from this shit site actually becoming unusable for long periods of time.
>saw a twitter post of some jap calling out a vtuber for plagiarism>check out what's the actual plagiarism>it's literally just the vtuber's shitpost doodling of a drum that's traced off of a drum instruction manual>the twitterfag keeps on calling out the vtuber over some traced shitpostMan, the things people get hung up onto.
>>7815173This most recent version was literally published months ago? Are legitimately super retarded? I will say it very plainly. It doesn’t work like that any more. And the github has no weight iirc, making all of this nonsensical speculation. Again, people who post on twitter know this.I fucking hate you larpers and crabs of /ic/
>>7815328Idk but I can shadowfollow you: regular follows are public, but I have my likes set to private and I will secretly like and bookmark your posts to trick the algo to systematically show your new works to me in my feed. I'm doing this a lot.
>>7815010or we can just not use private websites
>>7817263ok so you have autism
>>7817501You're a larping retard. Kys.
>>7813686>FREE SPEACH PLATFORM! >PUBLIC SQUARE!
>>7817372>a pentagram
>>7818361Yes, to fight the hexagrammers. Unironically.
>>7818361math symbol!
So is anyone else's reach actually fucked this time? My TL is nothing but text text text and my posts seem to draw below average views.
>>7821725Good, get a real job.
>>7813686>NSFWI guess it's too late to be a NSFW artist now.
