NEW: X executive says creator monetization program may potentially be ended, saying that the system does “more harm than good.”
The monetization program turned my "For you" feed into nothing but engagement bait posted by Pajeets or some other shitworlder—science slop/science is le heckin' magic vids, life "hacks" done by actual hacks (complete with condescending finger wag), and stupid CGI cartoons.
The literal only reason I've ever considered having one is because guys around here just link to random twitters all the time with no further explanation other than a half-assed title. And about 50% of the time, it won't load and just ask me to log in to Twitter to show it.
Its very annoying.
I don't disagree. Most of it is just cheap virtue signalling or the political equivalent of masturbation. But people treat it as gospel and get very mad if you don't go along with the echo chamber of nodding along with it.
But, its still the prompt for the discussion and sometimes the discussion is much more valuable than the nonsense that inspired it. Heck I often learn a lot trying to break it down and finding the reality it was using as foundation for the spin. I don't enjoy reading only the clickbait headline and then being expected to just "listen and believe" it, but that's what these unarchived twitter posts leave me with at times.

And then you never see any cute cats, always disappointing.
If your For You timeline is showing you things you don't want to see, that's a curation problem, not an algorithm problem. Just block what you don't want to see and it stops showing up.
