Original on X ↗

Unpopular opinion - but damn it ❗❗

X payouts have made this platform even worse.

It’s no longer about value, truth, or real content — it’s about “tea or coffee?”, “GM” ☕, and viral bait.

The biggest bullshitters get the most attention.

Engagement farmers milk the algo while people doing real work get mostly ignored.

And we’re not just talking about our account - this is happening all over X.

X has become an ATM for low-effort trash. Congrats.

Our most liked tweets are literally just “GM” or other empty nonsense.

It’s honestly disrespectful to all the work we actually put in.

We’re really pissed. But we keep going.

Because some of you still deserve better.
