Dogecoin Founder Defends Elon Musk’s X On Key Algorithm Feature
Highlights
- Dogecoin founder Billy Markus is in support of Elon Musk's X algorithm changes
- This algorithm is reportedly boosting and deboosting some user's X account
- One unique explanation is potential algorithm adjustment to clean up bots
Dogecoin founder Billy Markus has shared a post where he was seen defending Elon Musk on X over discovered discrepancies by users of the “free speech” social media app.
X Has a Bots Problem
As can be inferred from the Billy Markus post, account boosting and deboosting is becoming a trend. According to the Dogecoin founder, the problem of boosting and deboosting of X accounts is not an intentional action by Musk, the owner of X. Rather, he blamed the fluctuations on the algorithm.
“If smaller accounts are being boosted, that means larger accounts are being deboosted it’s literal obvious basic math,” Markus posted on X. “the algorithm isn’t deboosting people due to specific political views or whatever the latest dumb conspiracy theory is.”
It is worth noting that many X users have faced different challenges since Musk took over ownership of the social media company. A significant portion of these challenges were attributed to bots on the app, with some even connected to crypto scams. This led Musk to announce a total system purge that would eliminate the bits on trolls on his app.
The X app “purge” was aimed at cleansing the platform of fraudulent accounts that have been operated by bots and trolls in perpetuating crypto scams. It was not long after that he introduce a small fee for new users, a move which he identified as critical. Musk stated that this measure is the “only way” to avert the bot attack effectively.
Furthermore, he claimed that traditional bot-detection tools such as CAPTCHA are now obsolete, in addition to the fact that Artificial Intelligence (AI) tools and troll farms can now easily circumvent them. With the recent conversations surrounding deflated user visibility, Musk might be making adjustments to the bots algorithm.
Musk X App Welcomes Multiple Improvements
On the other hand, Musk has introduced quite a number of features to the X app.
Recently, he introduced a Community Notes feature, an improvement that is targeted at enhancing the detection and tagging of deep fake content. Per a statement from Alex Kantrowitz, an American journalist and founder of Big Technology, Musk emailed him about plans to integrate AI news on the social media platform.
Besides all these, there is the plan to launch the X TV App. This app as teased may bring the social media platform in close competition with Alphabet Inc.’s YouTube.
