Algorithm is deboosting all users! People who used to get like lots of interactions only get 100s! This is affecting all users liberal conservative, Big and small account, blue check marks and no blue checks alike! It's like every user is under a shadowban!

This is a big problem on Twitter. It will cost them users, and when the word gets out that the algo promotes an "unknown" cult like mentality, what person in their right mind would want to try and interact or build a following on that kind of platform?

Regardless of the entertainment value. or features, or the everything app, users will leave, and getting them back will be 200X the cost of keeping them. Be transparent and lay out everything up front, if this platform is truly free speech for the masses.

He supports free speech only as long as it is not a criticism of him or any of his companies.
