I've recently created a brand new account on X for a project. Looking at what was being recommended to the brand-new account with no interactions or likes or anything, they are not wrong.
- andreygrehov 2y agoCan you share some examples?
- yen223 2y agoWithin the first 15 recommended posts or so there was - a post about how Canada is overrun by Indians - a post about how Melbourne is overrun by n-worders (they replaced the Gs with £s) - a post about how a trans person is ugly - 2 "nudes in bio" bot posts. This was not hate speech, and arguably the most positive posts I got. This is not counting the Elon posts and the Trump posts, which were the first and second thing that got recommended. Nor the posts from Elon Musk imitators, who I assume are trying to take advantage of the fact that Elon Musk gets special treatment from the algorithm. When you create a new account, X asks you to follow an account to determine what your interests are. I picked NASA. I did not get recommended a single space photo.
