X: Twitter with a new name and fewer brakes
What it does
X is a real-time feed where posts, replies, and DMs collide. You can share text, images, and long video; host live audio Spaces; join topic-based Communities. The “For You” tab leans hard on recommendations, while “Following” sticks to your list—until it doesn’t.
How it feels
Fast, sticky, and volatile. Sharp commentary sits next to spammy bait. Moderation is reactive, verification is a paid feature, and the algorithm rewards heat over clarity. It’s great for breaking news and awful for nuance.
The business deal
Ads still bankroll the feed. X Premium sells checkmarks, longer posts, and creator payouts, nudging users into a pay-to-amplify loop. Brands chase reach, then flinch when the environment turns messy.
