I'm curious, how successful has the platform's rebranding and algorithm changes been? How have ad placements and user interactions specifically changed? In the past, 'trends' used to look very different. In the new system, have organic contents really disappeared, or has the visibility algorithm just changed? In your opinion, what could this move potentially bring to the platform in the long run?
What do you think about Elon Musk's moves with Twitter (X)?

I think it's pretty clear that X's (formerly Twitter) algorithm changes have pretty much killed organic content, honestly. Back in the day, even outdated hashtags could trend, but now it's like a bot dumpster fire. Personally, I find the ad placements way too aggressive—it's like ads popping up under every single post. In the new system, organic content isn’t just "hidden"; it’s genuinely gone because X has turned everything into a money-making tool.
Long-term, I don’t know what’s gained, but for now, even if ad revenue is up, the user experience is terrible. If you really don’t want organic content to disappear, you’ll either reminisce about the old days or, like me, just move your stuff to DMs to save it. Once you start losing users, the platform’s future is doomed. So, in my opinion, X’s move here is a bit of reckless boldness.
