Oh My God! X has come out with a new algorithm in the past few days in

No wonder my traffic is so low, Shet! Everyone must take a look at the new regulations in 2026: January 2026: Further fine-tuning, giving priority to pushing "informational/entertaining" content, reducing "negative/regret time" (maximizing unregretted user-seconds), that is, reducing the push weight of purely angry/controversial content. Exposure relies more on quality than the number of fans: If sharing/event promotion has multiple links and low early interaction, it is easy to be judged as "low retention value" by Grok, resulting in continued low views. - Negative/repeated topics will be downgraded: purely promotional or controversial posts (even if related to AI) may be "soft-limited" by the algorithm. - Positive signals: Original in-depth analysis, questions/polls, video/picture threads, and content that encourages real responses are more likely to be promoted. - User observation: Many creators reported that views fluctuated greatly in early 2026, with some declining (many links/inactive) and some rebounding (switching to high-interaction formats). Practical suggestions for adapting to the 2026 algorithm
Prioritize no-link/low-link content: the main post is purely value sharing, and the link is placed at the end of the thread or in the picture.
Improve early interaction: quickly reply to comments after posting, end with questions/votes, and aim for 5+ real interactions in the first hour.
Adjust the content direction: mix entertainment/informational content (such as interesting AI cases, personal stories) and reduce pure tool promotion.
Use Grok to be friendly: In the future, you may directly ask Grok to "adjust my feed", but for now, you are focusing on high-quality originals.
Monitoring and testing: Use X Analytics to look at impressions trends and try different formats for 1-2 weeks to observe the rebound.
