X ALGORITHM UPDATE 🚨
X just stopped cutting new posts first, and that should help small accounts (I check it daily with Claude and share updates worth sharing with you)
tl;dr:
- X can only check 2,800 posts each time you open your feed
- new posts used to be last in line, so they got cut first
- now everything gets cut equally, new posts included
- posts labeled low quality or misinfo now show a warning, and people can't like, reply or share them
- no score changes this time
lesson learned: your new posts now get a fair chance to be seen. Your first 2 hours still matter most.
full details:
- How it worked until this week
Every time someone opens For You, X collects around 3,700 posts it could show them: posts from people they follow, popular posts, posts liked by similar people, and brand new posts.
But X only has time to check 2,800 of them.
So it just took the first 2,800 in line. Brand new posts were at the back of the line. When there were too many, they were the ones left out... and a post that never gets checked can't be shown.
- What changed
Now everything gets cut by the same amount. 25% too many? Every type of post loses 25%, new posts included. Nobody goes first.
- Why small accounts should care
Those brand new posts are under 2 hours old, with under 8 likes and under 500 views. That's where most posts from smaller accounts are.
My read: they now get a fair chance instead of being cut first. How often X actually hits the 2,800 limit isn't in the code, so I can't tell you how big the difference is.
- Low quality and misinfo posts now show a warning
If X labels your post as low quality or misinformation, people who don't follow you see a warning on it, and they can't like, reply, repost, bookmark or share it. The code doesn't say what gets a post that label.
Here's a recap of what you should be doing:
- a new post gets its extra push only in its first 2 hours and first 200 views, so post when your people are online
- likes carry more weight than ever at 0.66 each
- people sticking around pays, the time-spent score is 50% higher than two weeks ago
- a read of 10+ seconds after someone opens your post adds 0.4
- the boost favors the post with the best like rate from its first viewers
- accounts up to 50K can get one fresh original lifted to roughly 16th
- nothing beats a copy link share, it scores 20
- replies, quotes and DM shares each score 5
- talk with your mutuals, replies between you score 20 instead of 5
- originals are the only posts that travel outside your follower base
- the 1st and the 32nd like each open a new route to strangers
- your 2nd post in the same feed is worth 62% of the first, so pick your best one
- videos still need 10+ seconds to qualify for the video lists
- earning a follow adds 4
- a pinned post with a bad link can flag the account for 7 days, worth a quick check
What you should NOT be doing:
- posts that get labeled low quality or misinfo now carry a warning, and nobody outside your followers can like or share them
- video alone won't carry you, an open counts 0.02 and the watch 0
- hide-worthy posts cost more, "not interested" sits at -52.27
- a post at 3am burns its 2 hour window before anyone sees it
- a tap that turns into a bounce is worth only 0.3
- replies and reposts don't get past your followers
- insults get your post hidden from anyone who doesn't follow you
- adult media in 3 of your last 5 posts puts a label on your account
- disguised content in videos gets checked from 64 likes, harder at 512
- self-reply chains under big accounts risk being zeroed
- one account label and non-followers stop seeing you entirely
- low-rated links don't belong in your pinned post
- recycled wording can get tagged as copypasta spam
- strangers tagged plus a low quality link is a pattern X flags
- engagement bait has no size exemption
- several posts in a row end up competing with each other
- hashtag stacks add nothing
- bookmarks are still worth 0
- 48 hours in, For You is finished with a post

BREAKING: "He can answer that question!" A reporter puts his foot down hard after RFK Jr.'s staffer tries to shoot down a question about measles — forcing RFK to answer.
More of our journalists need to bring this kind of heat...
"Has the war had an impact on your campaign at this point? It looks like the polls are showing it kind of neck and neck," a reporter asked Jen Kiggans, a Republican congresswoman at an event with Kennedy.
"We're not going to talk about that," said a staffer. "We're going to keep the questions on today's topic. Is there any other questions?"
"Mr. Secretary, do you believe that five deaths, potentially six, from measles in the state of Pennsylvania—" a reporter began.
"We're also not going to talk about measles," interjected the staffer, eager to shield her bosses from bad PR.
"He's the highest-ranking health official in the country, he can answer that question," the reporter shot back, fire in his voice. "He's a Cabinet Secretary. Mr. Secretary."
"Uh, we've done better," Kennedy immediately responded like a chastised schoolchild. "We're having a global measles outbreak right now. It's all over the world. And the measles outbreak is occurring because so many people went unvaccinated during the COVID pandemic."
"And this is something that Anthony Fauci, in fact, predicted," RFK added. "He said, we're going to kill more people from measles than we save from COVID because we're shutting down measles vaccination programs. So now, six years later, we're seeing that population. We have a global outbreak. We have done better, and particularly my administration has done better at controlling the outbreak than any other country in the world."
The reality that Kennedy is eliding here is that this measles outbreak is a direct result of the anti-vaxxer movement that he has helped nurture and normalize for decades. He helped convince gullible people that vaccines are dangerous and now those people are catching avoidable, and often deadly, diseases.
This administration has been slow to respond to this worsening problem because it's full of incompetent quacks, fascists, and criminals who are more interested in looting the treasury than governing. They can't do anything right, and the American people are paying the price.
Please ❤️ and share if you think that RFK is a disgrace to the Kennedy name!

BREAKING: In a terribly embarrassing moment for Trump, Fox News has to cut away from his speech because he isn’t making any coherent sense. It’s beyond clear Trump is senile. Retweet so all Americans see this.

A Canadian
A woman one month into a new job at the FDA was handed an application to approve a sleeping pill. It looked routine. They gave it to her because she was new and it seemed like an easy one to start on.
She read the file and something was missing. No evidence at all that the drug was safe in pregnancy, and it was being sold as a remedy for morning sickness. The drug was thalidomide, and West Germany was getting through a million doses a day.
Frances Kelsey asked for more data. The company sent representatives to her office, then telephoned her at all hours, then went over her head to her supervisors. Between them they contacted her and her boss around fifty separate times. She later said most of what they called her could not be printed. Ten million tablets were already sitting in warehouses waiting for her signature.
She said no six times. And while she held the line, doctors in Germany and Australia were piecing together what was happening to babies whose mothers had taken it. Limbs that had never formed, hands and feet attached directly at the shoulder and hip, in at least 4,000 children across Europe. The company withdrew its American application in 1962.
Seventeen cases turned up in the United States, all from free samples doctors had handed out before any approval. Without her it would have been thousands.
Congress passed a new law that same year requiring companies to prove a drug is both safe and effective, and requiring informed consent from anyone in a trial. Those rules are now used worldwide. Kennedy gave her the highest civilian award in the country and she was the second woman ever to receive it. She stayed at the FDA another 45 years and died in 2015 at 101.
Every American woman handed a pill in pregnancy is downstream of one woman refusing to sign a form six times while men shouted at her.

Four months ago, Canadian PM Mark Carney sat in a living room, looked into a camera and delivered a message which is summarized thusly: The United States — our neighbor, our largest trading partner, the country whose economy has been braided into ours for the better part of two centuries — is no longer an ally we can count on. They are compromised by a conman. America is breaking, and yes, that special relationship isn’t just over; it’s a liability. The ties that made us strong have become the ties that make us vulnerable because, to its neighbors and "allies," America has become a non-functional, malevolent nation.
Yesterday, Carney - accompanied by a perfectly consistent press release - cancelled trade negotiations with the US. It wasn't Trump who canceled them, it was Carney. He looked at the final terms, called them unfair and uneconomic, tinged by animus and envy, so he pulled his negotiators home, and matched the 50% tariffs levied by Trump dollar for dollar. He refused to sign a bad deal just to claim a deal.
What Carney has been saying, very effectively, consistently, on the world stage and at home, over and over - 4 months ago and again yesterday - is that Canada is not going to negotiate by dysfunction and not going to capitulate to a madman and bully who is trying to use Canada as a pawn to feign grandiosity.
Carney sees Trump for who and what he is.
And most of all, Carney is saying that Canada is a sovereign nation, will remain as such, is not for sale, will make its own determinations, and will do fine.
He's right and I believe him.

Carney: "The U.S. introduced in the last hours, efforts to restrict our ability to have other trade deals. We're the partner of choice in many respects for countries around the world, and the Americans wanted to restrict that. Unacceptable."

Until Trump's self inflicting tariffs pains are over, this is how to shop in Canada.
1. Read ALL labels.
2. If it says made in the U.S put it back on the shelf (Once that product doesn't sell, the store will no longer purchase it and replace it)
3. Buy Made in 🇨🇦🇲🇽🇬🇧 etc minus🇺🇸

BREAKING: Trump's Kennedy Center just canceled its free public tours for the first time in 50 years — because an 87-year-old volunteer told the truth about its Trump-era collapse.
An 87-year-old tour guide told the OBVIOUS truth about the Kennedy Center. Donald Trump's response was to punish everyone.
For the first time in five decades, the John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts has paused its beloved free tour program — and the timing makes the reason unmistakable. The move came directly after longtime volunteer Sandy Weiswasser gave a candid interview to the New York Times describing exactly what Trump's takeover has done to America's national theater.
According to the NY Times article she was quoted in, “Once she was among 140 volunteer guides who gave tours in 10 languages to up to 400,000 people a year. Last week on her Monday shift, only five out of more than a dozen tour guides showed up, and only three people took a tour.”
"This place used to be really thriving and busy and crowded," the 87-year-old Weiswasser told the Times. "Now it's a black hole."
That's it. That's the offense. An elderly volunteer, describing what she's personally witnessed after decades of service, told a reporter the honest truth. Days later, the Kennedy Center's director of the volunteer program quietly announced a "temporary pause" on tours — the exact outcome three separate volunteers had privately worried about before the memo announcing the pause was even circulated, anticipating retaliation.
Petty vindictiveness is who Trump is. Not content with seizing control of one of America's most beloved cultural institutions, purging its board, and driving away artists who refused to perform under his takeover, he's now apparently willing to punish an entire volunteer program, silencing public access to the building itself, because one honest 87-year-old described what everyone can already see.
And remember, this is the same Kennedy Center Trump previously tried to shut down entirely for two years under the guise of "renovations," after his own name change proposal drove away performers in protest. His name was eventually scraped off the building's wall — and now the facade remains hidden under a massive tarp, a fittingly literal metaphor for an institution being suffocated from within.
America's national theater used to belong to everyone. Now it's become a monument to one man's ego and his intolerance for even the gentlest criticism, even from an 87-year-old grandmother simply telling visitors what she's seen with her own eyes.
Please like and share.
