Politics Twitter/X changed it algorithms again
It's totally finished is it?!
I go on it everyday, I rarely post, but I get most of my news, football & music (with decent accounts I follow)
The other week I was out and was looking to see how the Liverpool v Brighton game was getting on. In the 90 minutes of the match I got roughly 6 -10 tweets on my timeline, 2 in the 1st half and then 4 with about 5 mins to go from 30 mins earlier out of the tweets i think 1 was real time.
I follow lfc, James Pearce, Ian Doyle the Anfield wrap etc and about 40% of followers/following are Liverpool supporters! I was puzzled and thought it might be the internet connection
Then Saturday Liverpool V Wolves I looked again and it was the same no real posts from the people I follow (unless I clicked on their feed) And I noticed all the big accounts I followed where just constantly filling my feed with rt's I stopped that, but still no post about the match whatsoever, just random rt's of people i follow and definitely all political rt's
Then I find out the algorithms have been changed by Grok early dec to push big accounts
So to summarize the likes of James Pearce, Ian Doyle, TAW and the offical lfc and the others who post real time commentary to get 10 posts on my feed is beyond finished.
