X AI ALGORITHM UPDATE (BIG ONE) 🚨
X updated their open source algorithm yesterday and the biggest number in it is gone: copy link went from 20 to 0 points. Small accounts should focus on: posts people like, reply to and stay on (so stop counting on link copies)
tl;dr:
- on Nov 13 X's open source code set the score for copying a post's link to 0
- copy link: 20 → 0
- it was the top score in the whole system, 4x a reply
- the code also names a "copy link bait" spam check
- likes (0.708), replies (5) and DM shares (5) didn't move
full details:
- The number that's gone
Since I started reading X's open source code in August, one number sat at the top: 20, for someone tapping share and copying your post's link. Nothing else came close.
As of the Nov 13 release, it's 0.
X still guesses who'll copy your link. It just multiplies that guess by 0 now.
X didn't explain it. It's just what the code says.
(I check the open source algo daily with Claude and share updates with you)
- Cross it off your list
My own checklist called copy link the biggest number. Last week's post said it too.
It was true then. It isn't now. If you saved that list, cross that line out.
- The "copy link bait" check
X's code now mentions a spam check called "copy link bait". In the code it adds a spam label to the post, and that label already keeps a post out of strangers' feeds.
It only shows up in a test, so I can't see if it's running or how strict it is.
My read: X saw people baiting link copies, so it turned the score off and built something to catch the bait. That's a read, the code doesn't say why.
- Why that matters if you're small
If your plan was posts people copy the link to, that plan now earns 0 in X's ranking.
A copied link can still bring people in from outside X. It just doesn't push your post up anymore.
What still pays: likes at 0.708 (the highest ever), people staying on your post, replies at 5 and back and forth with mutuals at 20.
- Also new: photo and video tags
If a post has a spam label, people you tag in its photo or video who don't follow you won't get notified. Same idea as last week's rule for replies.
- What didn't change
Every other score. Your new posts still get their extra push in the first 2 hours and first 200 views, and early likes still pick which one gets it.
Here's a recap of what you should be doing:
- aim for likes, replies and time spent, the copy link score is gone
- a DM share still earns 5, same as a reply or a quote
- likes sit at 0.708, never higher
- time on your post keeps counting at its best rate yet
- 10+ seconds after someone taps in adds 0.385
- write your replies yourself, under big accounts most of all
- give people a reason to hang around your profile
- in videos the opening seconds carry it, an open alone scores 0
- posts read to the end help X find you strangers
- smaller accounts (below 50K) get a shot at a spot near 16 for a fresh original
- early likes decide which new post gets that spot
- post when your followers are awake, the push lasts 2 hours and 200 views
- mutuals going back and forth earn 20, so follow back the regulars
- only your originals ever get shown to strangers
- like 1 and like 32 each unlock another way to reach strangers
- one strong post per feed, your second only counts 62%
- clips longer than 10 seconds for the video lists
- a post likely to win you a follow gets +4
- give your pinned post a look, it can affect the whole account
What you should NOT be doing:
- counting on copy link shares, they score 0 now
- baiting link copies, the code names a spam check for exactly that
- a spam label also stops your photo tags reaching non-followers
- AI-written replies under big accounts, "llm slop" is a flag X uses
- copy-paste replies, labeled ones skip non-followers' notifications
- chasing taps, 0.274 and dropping
- drifting off your topic, each probable "not interested" takes 53.07 away
- videos people open and leave, the open itself earns 0
- posting at 3am, it wastes the 2 hour push
- expecting replies and reposts to reach strangers
- an insult label, it hides that post from non-followers
- earning a misinfo or low quality label, which adds a warning and locks strangers out of liking or sharing
- 3 adult photos or videos among your latest 5 posts, that puts a label on you
- forgetting videos get rechecked at 64 and 512 likes
- one account label and strangers stop seeing you
- pinning a link to a site X rates badly, that can mean a label for a week
- posting your own old words again risks the copypasta flag
- a low quality link plus tagged strangers reads as spam
- bait for engagement, big or small it gets a label
- several posts back to back, they split the same feed
- hashtag piles, they do nothing
- bookmarks for reach, they score 0
- hoping a 3 day old post still lands in For You, it stops at 2 days

not all crypto rewards are created equal. when a platform advertises yield, i think the first thing to check is what holders actually receive and where that value comes from.
@RebateLaunch has an interesting approach to this.
instead of paying holder rewards in newly issued $rebate, eligible holders receive payouts in the pair asset. on robinhood chain, that's usdg.
the platform reports:
→ $28.5k distributed to holders.
→ 120,403 individual payouts.
→ rewards sent several times throughout the day.
→ no staking or manual claiming required.
but the reward distribution is only one part of the model.
rebate pad also uses a declining launch tax to address early sniping.
→ 99% during the initial stage.
→ 66% in the next stage.
→ 33% in the following stage.
these penalties go into a locked treasury that supports the buyer bonus mechanism.
separately, the 0.7% platform fee is used to buy $rebate from the market and burn it.
the reported cumulative burn has reached 35.3m tokens, representing 3.53% of the original 1 billion supply.
what makes this model worth examining is how several mechanisms connect:
✦ early launch activity contributes to the treasury.
✦ the treasury supports buyer bonuses.
✦ trading fees fund holder payouts and the $rebate buyback-and-burn mechanism.
my perspective is that paying rewards in the pair asset is an interesting distinction because holders aren't simply receiving more of the same token.
however, attractive payout numbers alone don't prove sustainable yield. trading volume, fee generation, treasury health and long-term user activity still matter.
i'd rather evaluate the source of rewards than focus only on the advertised percentage.
also, round 3 of the creator campaign closes november 17 at 22:00 utc.
the real question is whether rebate pad can maintain this economic cycle as adoption grows.

🚀 $TART HOLDERS, THIS COULD BE AN OPPORTUNITY! 🍒
The market is bleeding, but builders are still building. Sometimes, the biggest opportunities appear when the market is at its weakest.
While others are panicking, keep your eyes on what
@notralbnb is cooking behind the scenes. $TART is more than just a token; there's an ecosystem being built, with staking, farming and long-term plans in motion.
If you've done your research and believe in the vision, this dip might be an opportunity to strengthen your bag.
Stay focused. Think long-term. Don't let market fear make your decisions.
Something is cooking, and Notralbnb might just have more surprises for the $TART community.
WE ARE EARLY! $TART 🍒

Some GOP pointed to Times... I doubt Times would release a good investigative journal as they have not for the last decade as they focused on cheap, easy albeit wellwrutten EDITORIALs.
FT and Economics is definitely a drainage for the target release of filth. The US leaks thru UK is definitely for legal reason as the UK media sits on
the Defence and Security Media Advisory (DSMA) Committee to use sovereign immunity on their hit list.
I doubt this is the case, they might have fucked up in this op: Georgetown, Columbia is the Goldmine. They first did it thru the US media: if it is false accusation, they are going to be fucking sued but the richest man.

Here’s the recap of
@cz_binance’s fireside with Anthony Pompliano at Cantor Convergence in Miami:
He showed up in Miami just weeks after the biggest hack in crypto history and still looked calm. No stress, no drama. Just there.
What stood out:
Trust gets built when things go wrong, not when everything is perfect.
@cz_binance basically said resilience matters more than never getting hit. That’s how you actually move Bitcoin forward.
He also talked about AI and regulation. “Any new technology will go through a phase we can’t make regulation ahead of time. It moves too fast.” Crypto already went through this. AI is going through it now.
And security. The $6.3B hack showed the industry (and even banks) hasn’t been taking this seriously enough. AI is making attacks faster. The only real answer is fighting AI with AI and actually working together as an industry instead of everyone doing their own thing.
No full recording out yet but
@cz_binance said it should be somewhere.
While most people are still panicking or pointing fingers,
@cz_binance is still focused on the long game. Protecting users and building through the noise.
That’s why a lot of us still trust him. 🔶

I'm proud I worked at
@NVIDIA.
@JensenHuang is the biggest reason why. I'm not there anymore, so I can speak freely.
His departure is a huge loss. Especially now.
I spent almost five years in the culture he built and knew people who'd worked with him for 20+ years. They respected him technically and loved him as a person. They said it without a hint of doubt.
The focus stayed on the mission and on people. Good ideas got support regardless of title.
That sounds like standard company values. It wasn't. Behind it was his vision and a way of leading that is out of fashion in today's founder advice:
- Be kind, not arrogant.
- Innovation, not marketing.
- The wins belong to the people, not the CEO.
- Don't fire by default. Find the person a new role.
It's counterintuitive, and I doubt there is a harder way to lead. What I saw was leadership through kindness and care, not by squeezing people.
A real visionary. He understood the technology and the people building it. His internal talks had vision, conviction, technical depth and jokes good enough for stand-up. You left wanting to build, and you couldn't wait for the next one.
An affair, on its own, shouldn't outweigh decades of leadership. The serious questions deserve real answers. But the soap opera shouldn't decide his future.
We're at a critical moment for AI. His technical judgment, vision, and commitment to the work are incredibly hard to replace.
I want Jensen to keep building and leading. There's too much important work ahead.
