The other thing to mention is, the average quality of posting on X these days is very poor. I created a normie outreach account with good intentions. But I ended up interacting regularly with content that was so bad that I couldn't bear it and I had to rethink things. Unless you know specifically who you want to engage with, and no doubt there are some quality accounts still, you will come across the average content, which is extremely low effort and low information.
The other obvious problem is all the fake people. The site is absolutely overrun with fake accounts now. Sometimes you will see different accounts posting the same thing with a few hours gap between. A side effect of the AI revolution is that the internet is now spammed with fake people. And as it becomes harder to distinguish between real humans and bots, it becomes less justifiable to use the platforms that are overrun with the latter. Not least because sorting fact from fiction even in identity becomes that much harder. Of course, the news is all fake now, so you're not missing much there.
What a world!
