The Few Bets That Matter
This algorithm change is a massacre.
Content quality has not improved. And small creators are now effectively cut off from their own subscriber base with absurdly low reach, regardless of content's quality.
The algorithm decides what to push or not based on a very small & early sample that is most of the time not representative of global interest.
If I have 10k followers and my post is initially shown to 500 people who are not interested - and that is what happens based on my own stats, the algorithm concludes the content is not worth pushing further.
Less than 10% of your follower base decides of the fate of your post. And that's meant to improve content quality?
What gets pushed today is content that generates engagement fast, from a small portion of users, and X management assumes that this content is quality content.
What other kind of content could generate interest rapidly but quality? Cmon, we're on X, only quality matters here!
My ass.
Most aren't here for quality, and reducing reach won't boost quality either way, far from it, it'll just arbitrarily push the posts which do well in the first 10min on a small user base. And those are rarely qualitative.
What takes off isnโt quality, itโs whatever triggers quick reactions. Everything else is muted, not just lost in the flow of fast consumed content as it used to be, that was ok. No, muted. By design.
It's really motivating. Great job.

RT @DimitryNakhla: A few noteworthy observations on $UBER
Revenue mix has materially diversified
๐๐จ๐๐ข๐ฅ๐ข๐ญ๐ฒ is no longer the whole story โ ๐๐๐ฅ๐ข๐ฏ๐๐ซ๐ฒ has gone from negligible to meaningful contributors over time, reducing reliance on a single segment

๐๐๐ฅ๐ข๐ฏ๐๐ซ๐ฒ is re-accelerating. After a digestion phase, Delivery growth has picked back up into the high-teens / low-20% range, showing the segment still has legs at scale

RT @Reignots: The news isnโt even on any of $GRVY news or SEC filings since it happened at the GungHo level - Gravity is 20-25% of GungHoโs equity value at current discount so itโs a material part of the turnaround story being pushed by Strategic. Few besides @ClarkSquareCap is on top of this. https://t.co/KgdmRFoYIh

This is it - the ignition catalyst. Didnโt think weโd ever get that fossil out. A big win for Japanese activism. PT $80-100 if ANY return of capital is considered. $GRVY tweet

The Few Bets That Matter
$DUOL just made a fresh 52-week low.
It doesnโt matter how much you like it, the stock wonโt be rewarded until we have a clear view on growth. At 8ร sales, anything under 30% growth gets punished.
The market prices the future, not the past. Stop looking backward, past growth doesn't matter.

RT @perchdotapp: Sam Altman on how Paul Grahamโs essays inspired him to get into startups
โI think like many other people, my introduction to the startup world and excitement about it came from reading PGโs essays. Heโs an unbelievable writer . . . I think a whole generation of us copied PG in all of these ways. Although he was never like, โLet me teach you a class on how to write,' I and others clearly took a lot of inspiration because he just does it in a style that resonates so much. Like if you go read an average business book versus a PG essay, itโs like theyโre both business writing, but other than that, theyโre different species. He says interesting stuff. He says it clearly. He doesnโt waste your time. Nothing feels fake.โ
