       RE: https://mastodon.social/@eff/116375694963358260Having no algorithm also shows actual interested people instead of spoon fed “To put it bluntly, an X post today receives less than 3% of the views a single tweet delivered seven years ago.”RT: https://mastodon.social/users/eff/statuses/116375694963358260

       @stux I think it's the right decision, but it's something that they're making it off of non-credible "post impressions" metrics from the platform itself. Ad-supported platforms charge advertisers based on those metrics, and keeping them puffed up bring in money. Have platform metrics ever been trustworthy? Who's been auditing them? Advertisers? Definitely not.

       @stux And most of those views are from committed Muskovites (plus a small village of indomitable Gauls who won't let egregious lies go unnoticed)

       @stux This is why "AI" evangelists have a tough time on the fedi: people, left to their own devices to talk among themselves (as opposed to being spoonfed every positive comment by a manipulative algorithm), will collectively reach the conclusion that the cost-benefit analysis for this tech simply doesn't add up.Unlike chatbots, the EFF are important and necessary, and a threat to the tech broligarchy. Of course they can't gain traction on a platform that dampens their reach. 🤷🏻‍♂️
