A product dev from X let something slip this morning before quickly taking it down. Classic move.

Here's what caught my attention though—it's a reminder why you shouldn't rely on the algorithm alone. Switch to the "Following - Recent" timeline and you actually see what people are posting in real time. You get to decide what matters, not the feed.

Turns out X's been quietly burying posts once your engagement bucket dries up. Pretty standard algorithm behavior, but it's worth knowing how the game works on any platform. The takeaway? Don't let the algorithm decide your information diet.
