New ‘stuck post’ visibility feature on X

In a recent announcement, Elon Musk, the CEO of X (formerly known as Twitter), introduced a new user feature aimed at enhancing post visibility on the platform. The feature, termed the “stuck post” visibility, is set to bring significant changes to the platform’s recommendation algorithm.

According to Musk, the new feature ensures that a user’s pinned or stuck post will be visible to all their followers at regular intervals. This move aims to increase the visibility of important or highlighted content for users, offering them greater control over their online presence.

However, Musk also emphasised that to prevent gaming of the system, the feature will only apply to one pinned post every 48 hours. This limitation is intended to maintain the integrity of the platform and prevent users from manipulating the algorithm to gain undue visibility.

“A change is coming to our recommendation algorithm that will ensure that all your followers see your pinned posts. This only applies to one pinned post every 48 hours to prevent gaming of the system,” Musk announced on his X profile.

As X continues to evolve, these changes are expected to redefine how users engage with content and advertisements on the platform. With a focus on personalised and seamless user experiences, the introduction of the stuck post visibility feature marks a significant step forward in X’s mission to empower its user base.
