Nikita Bier links the surge to aggressive algorithmic growth tactics.
Many users praised X climbing iOS charts and recent platform improvements, while others criticized the algorithm's viral-content growth mode for favoring addiction and low-quality stolen material over reliability.

@nikitabier explain this
@nikitabier hey nikita. can you do something about this for my friend?
Hello Nikita Bier, First of all, thank you for all the updates you’ve made to improve the experience for X users. However, I would like to raise one issue that is causing significant inconvenience. Could you please consider improving the account suspension AI system? When coordinated groups on certain external sites organize mass reports against an account, the system automatically suspends it. These groups are actively abusing this mechanism to get accounts suspended repeatedly. They most commonly use the false claim “this user is a minor,” which seems to trigger suspensions very easily. Due to the malicious attacks that have been continuing from February until now, more than 100 of the people I followed have been suspended. If requested, you may check the follow records of that account (not the current account). A system that suspends accounts simply because a large number of reports are filed is highly problematic. If accounts can be suspended this easily, more and more people will exploit this method in the future. As someone who has received a lot of help from both X and Grok, I would greatly appreciate it if this issue could be addressed. Thank you very much for your help.
