The platform was not the problem, it was the people. People migrated to bluesky and fedi and now create these contents there.
Closing down the API, charging for the checkmark, not displaying tweets to those not logged in, artificially boosting tweets by the owner itself etc etc.

Let's not promote divisions. Unless you meant: "people should stop using social media in which there are monetary incentives to be sensationalist", which I definitely agree on. I would love if we had more civilized discussions on the web, we would understand eachother better that way. But it's an impossible ask.

You won't get messages from Elon, but you will sure get a lot of messages about Elon since he lives rent free in so many people's mind.
At the time of posting, I count 8 matches for "Elon" on this page and 23 comments. All of but one of the mentions has a negative sentiment.

I'm personally a huge Elon fan, but I know many who are not and have heard from multiple sources that they can't get him out of their feeds no matter how hard they try. If you tweak your current idea to simply remove all Elon-related content from the feed, that would be funny but may also be strangely profitable (people would probably buy it out of spite).

You're playing right into their game.
I think this is a glimpse of the future. I can imagine ever-greater amounts of information overload, and AI used everywhere to filter it to manageable levels.
This sounds like an extreme waste of resources in all sides.
Also see: people using them to write artificial garbage and then readers using them to summarise the said garbage.

Social media apps have downsides, but I find the algorithmic short videos on facebook ("reels") quite incredible. The algo seems to suggest mostly science; niches I would never have known about, let alone had an active interest in, had the algo not suggested them. I suspect experiences using social media apps differ wildly from person to person.
X is by far the least fun social media app. I tried it and I never got the appeal. Just stick to insta for lighthearted content.
