Is X Turning Into Reddit?
When was the last time you looked under a tweet to see the replies? Save yourself the trouble — it's not pretty. Top replies tend to be either product plugs, spam from bots, or hot takes from X Premium users. Not to mention political posts, which bring out a whole new level of toxicity in the replies.
It looks like X is preparing to do something about it and taking a page out of Reddit's book in the process. X appears to be privately testing downvotes in replies. In other words, a dislike button.
These downvotes will not be present in original posts, only replies, and will be used to determine which show up on top. The algorithm will even account for each user's political bias to prevent them from simply downvoting opinions they disagree with.
For once, we actually think this looks like a positive update for X! Downvotes have real potential to reduce spam and toxicity. Of course, at the end of the day, it will all come down to how they are implemented.
Do you think downvotes will change X for the better? Let us know and continue this conversation on X.
