For many people, Twitter’s “For You” is filled with tweets and replies to tweets from Elon Musk. Not everyone seems to be getting the Elon-first feed, however on Monday afternoon, various folks observed one thing was totally different.
A number of of us right here at The Verge are seeing extra Musk replies than traditional, and I personally counted 5 on the very high of my feed, with many extra sprinkled in between tweets from different customers. The identical is true for some accounts that don’t even comply with Elon Musk.
As reported by Platformer’s Zoë Schiffer and Casey Newton, inside Twitter knowledge signifies that whereas Musk’s account rose to peak reputation in search rankings in April 2022, engagement has since dropped considerably, and engineers discovered no subject with Twitter’s algorithm.
Over the weekend, Musk mentioned Twitter rolled out some form of change to repair this “visibility” subject, with the billionaire CEO stating that 95 p.c of his tweets weren’t “getting delivered.” I’m unsure if that is in any respect associated to this Elon-filled feed, however I’m hoping Twitter fixes this subject quickly — until the brand new mandate is to get the boss extra views by any means obligatory.
