X’s algorithm is a form of entrapment; I literally clicked “not interested” on the same story three separate times, yet it kept pushing it on me. It’s clearly designed to stir up anger to sell ads and subscriptions, train their AI, and gather political data points for their America PAC, rather than having a real debate. This tactic, which feels as politically focused as the FBI has become, makes the platform feel asinine and unusable: it’s not a homely place, and this manufactured outrage is genuinely starting to affect my health and professional relationships.
