Investor Jason Calacanis proposes a 'show all posts' toggle on X profiles to bypass algorithmic feed filtering

The proposed toggle works like YouTube's alert bell.

It would be cool if you could click “show all posts” on the profile pages of you true friends on x @nikitabier

Kinda like the alerts functionality on YouTube does

You still get the fun of the algo, but you can also force showing the accounts you love in your FYP

Remember the good ol’ days when your followers would actually get shown your posts?

And this isn’t just a me thing, so many creator friends (some of whom have huge long-running channels/platforms) have seen their numbers collapse the past couple of years. Their work continues to be top notch. But they won’t play the “current thing” game, so they are dying.

@Jason @nikitabier hmmm interesting… i’m also for a grok led way of curating friends timeline based on topic or vibe i’m putting together for the day… + second and third ties connected to your friends network circle vs rather than a friend only tl mode.

brb… going to visualize this

This is a cross-platform phenomenon btw. They’ve all made followers/subscribers less relevant to post performance, which pushes creators into current-thing clickbait if they want any real growth.

This is the path to idiocracy.

Whichever platform directly recouples followers to views (and aggressively culls bots instead of leaning into them like meta) will win in the long run.

People are crying out for trustworthy content from familiar people. But modern algorithms don’t reward it.

@Jason @nikitabier This would def be a step in the right direction. Also, I’m thrilled that you actually saw this post Jason!

@LivewJack @lexfridman Yeah, it’s a real bummer. It’ll take leadership from those with the power and deep pockets to afford to do it.

@Liv_Boeree The endless curated feed killed a lot. It eats attention and gives back very little in return.

@Liv_Boeree also, don’t even think about posting on a variety of topics under this new regime. pick a single topic/lane and keep optimizing your “hooks” 🤮

@Liv_Boeree I admit it has been a while since I have seen yours.

I am puzzled by this.

My algorithm.

Show me all posts from my follows most to least recent.

Laughing… is this so hard?

@Liv_Boeree I stick to the "followers" tab. "For you" across all platforms is 100% slop

@Liv_Boeree We need to convince advertisers that not enough human eyeballs are seeing their ads.

I'm afraid we'll get bots buying things from ads before then though 😕

@Liv_Boeree Just read the Following/Recent feed. That's all I do. But I guess people can't bring themselves to stay there

@Liv_Boeree It is still possible to get the legacy twitter experience and completely ignore the algorithm, but the site defaults to the algo and most people don't switch back
