X just silently updated its open-source algorithm.
Two massive shifts just happened in the code:
1. Clickbait is officially dying (taps dropped again).
2. AI replies under big accounts now get flagged as "llm slop" and muted from notifications.
I ran the Nov 5 code update through Claude. Here is what changed and how small accounts can exploit it:
📊 The New Weights (Nov 5 Update)
What’s UP:
📈 Likes: 0.66 → 0.708 (Up +41% since early October)
📈 Time Spent: 0.006 → 0.0075 (Up +25% in a week, nearly 2x since Oct)
📈 Shares: 2.0 → 2.118
What’s DOWN:
📉 Tapping a post: 0.30 → 0.274
📉 10s+ stay after tap: 0.40 → 0.385
📉 Opening a video: 0.02 → 0.00 (Dead)
📉 "Not interested" penalty: -52.27 → -53.07
The takeaway: A tap isn't the win anymore. Retention + Likes is the new meta. Write to be read to the very last line.
🤖 The "LLM Slop" Rule (Crucial for Reply Guys)
X runs an automated check on replies under accounts with 250K+ followers.
• If your reply smells like ChatGPT, you get hit with a literal "llm slop" label for 14 to 30 days.
• New rule: Once labeled, your replies and mentions will NOT reach their notifications (unless they already follow you).
• Big/credible accounts bypass this. Small accounts don't. Write your own replies or stay invisible.
🎥 Video & Profile Retention
Why did "opening a video" drop to 0? Because X turned on two new ranking signals:
1. Video watch time after opening.
2. Profile dwell time after someone clicks your name.
Hook viewers in the first 2 seconds (videos must be 10s+ to rank), and optimize your bio/pinned post so people stick around when they visit.
⚡ The Ultimate X Playbook (What still works right now)
1. The Golden Window (First 2 Hours)
• Your post gets a boost during its first 2 hours and first 200 views. Post when your audience is awake.
• The 1st like and the 32nd like unlock new distribution tiers.
• Originals from accounts under 50K can jump straight to spot #16 on feeds if early viewers hit like.
• Don't double-post quickly: your 2nd post in the same feed gets throttled to 62% reach.
2. The Real Multiplier Scores
• Copy Link: +20 points (Still the king of metrics)
• Mutual back-and-forth in replies: +20 points (Engage with friends!)
• Quotes, Replies, DM Shares: +5 points each
• Likely to earn a follow: +4 points
• Bookmarks: 0 points (They don't boost reach alone, only the time spent reading does)
3. Instant Reach Killers to Avoid
🚫 Off-topic posts: One "Not interested" click costs you -53.07 points.
🚫 Bad link in Pinned Post: Linking to a low-trust domain in your pin can shadow-label your whole account for 7 days.
🚫 Spamming replies under 1 post: Piling multiple replies under a big account tanks your score.
🚫 Self-plagiarism: Reusing your exact old tweets triggers a "copypasta" flag.
🚫 Relying on Replies/RTs for growth: Non-followers are only shown your original posts in For You.
If you’re building something, let’s connect 🤝
I’m 30, a dad and a founder building from Dubai.
What are you working on?
Hey @grok, who else should I connect with?
Hey @grok, you’re starting from zero with a laptop, $100 and no audience.
You have 30 days to reach $10k MRR.
What B2B business would you build, what would you charge, and how would you land your first 10 paying customers?
No “build an AI wrapper” answers. Be specific.
Hey @grok, I have 14 Claude accounts, 1 ChatGPT account and 1 Google AI account.
Am I building a startup or just funding everyone else’s?
Took it easy for 2 days.
Today so far: 50,427 impressions. 186 new followers.
Break’s over. Back to building and showing up here every day.
27 hours on X this week.
10,203 notifications.
What’s your screen time on X?
Hey @grok, is this networking or do I need an intervention?
I was aiming for 500K impressions.
Just checked: 624.8K.
Now the real challenge: giving people a reason to come back.
Hey @grok, roast these stats. What should I fix first?
Hey @grok, first my notifications went crazy. Now the follower count too 😂
2,500 people following this dad building products from Dubai.
Should I celebrate or go fix another bug?
🤖 Made with AI
Hey @grok, my notifications are going crazy 😂
Is my account finally taking off or did I accidentally become a full-time X user?
63.4K / 500K verified home timeline impressions. 📈
12.7% of the way there.
Still building products, changing diapers, and figuring this out in public 🤝
Running an online business looks simple from the outside.
Then a payment provider freezes your account, a supplier disappears and a customer finds a bug you’ve never seen before.
All before lunch. 😂
Some days being a founder feels like you’re making progress on everything.
Other days you spend hours solving one problem and end up exactly where you started.
Both are part of building. Keep going 🤝
AI made building 10x easier.
It made choosing what to build 10x harder.
When you can ship anything in a weekend, how do you decide what deserves your next 6 months?
I'm building BuiltShelf.
A shelf where builders drop their product and actually get seen completely free.
No algorithm games. Just real projects from real builders.
Launching soon. Want yours on it at launch?

Be honest.
Do you still review every line your AI agent writes…
or do you just trust it when it says "Done ✅"?
