X Sucks
Just a reminder that the algorithm is trying to maximize unregretted user-seconds.
If far more credible, verified subscriber accounts (not bots) mute/block your account compared to those who like your posts, your reach will decline significantly.

Trump gets it.
Donald Trump: “If you graduate from a U.S. college—two-year, four-year, or doctoral—you should automatically get a green card to stay.
Too often, talented grads are forced to leave and start billion-dollar companies in India or China instead of here.

Here is why I was already considering giving it up in 2025:
- It is a massive time sink. I constantly find myself neglecting more important tasks because of mindless scrolling and notifications are robbing my attention
- I developed my posting habit a decade ago in the pre-censorship, pre-Trump era, but the app has fundamentally changed since then. Initially, I hoped the Musk era would bring back the old Twitter, but it is clear now that is never going to happen
- The 2024 election was a lot of fun, but that is over now
- If you are not paying for their shitty service, you are essentially posting to a spam folder. You don’t have “freedom of reach.” The reach is the whole point of spending time on social media
- Even if you do pay for X, you are punished for posting outbound links. You don’t even have the reach of pre-Musk, Jack Dorsey draconian censorship Twitter
- Fundamentally, X has become a place for people like Ian Miles Cheong to post slop. It is not an organic platform. I spent months posting tongue-in-cheek jokes about how Elon Musk is “the boss” because the platform is so obviously his rigged little playpen
The final straw came last night when Musk had a meltdown over all the criticism about Indian immigration and started de-verifying, demonetizing and shadow banning people on the Right who had criticized him. He followed it up by retweeting this clip from Ian Miles Cheong.
Instead of further wasting my time on X and the Pajeets who run that shitty app, I am considering trying out Substack which encourages long form articles instead of hot takes, which no one is going to see anyway. Also, the writing is on the wall at X after the events of the last 48 hours.
