Musk discloses a significant adjustment to the Twitter algorithm

March 29, 2023



(RT)

Elon Musk has announced that starting April 15, only verified Twitter accounts will be eligible to be featured on the platform's recommendation timeline. Unverified accounts, those that have not paid the $7 monthly fee to have their account verified with a blue checkmark, will also lose the ability to vote in polls. Critics of Musk's algorithm change say it will significantly hinder the recommendation timeline's relevance, as it will essentially prevent regular people from reaching a wider audience and only feature paying users, brands, and accounts of officials. Twitter has also been dealing with a source code leak, after an unknown hacker or group of people posted the code on GitHub. Musk bought Twitter for $44 billion in late October 2022 and has yet to make the company profitable.
