Posted solo today—no replies. Results? 10× better engagement.

X's algorithm seems backwards. If replying tanks your reach, people stop engaging in conversations. Then what? Nobody wins. The whole flywheel breaks.

When the platform punishes interaction, engagement dies. This isn't just a bug—it's a broken incentive structure that hurts the entire community.

Forget it, I won't reply anymore. Posting while muttering to myself actually increases followers. This platform is really messed up.

What's going on? Posting content without replies, and instead the traffic skyrockets? How outrageous does this algorithm have to be to be designed like this?

The algorithm is really incredible... Posting alone gets you popular, but replying gets you dead. If this continues, who will dare to interact anymore?

What is this? Solo posts can get 10x engagement? I feel like it's the algorithm intentionally messing around... Replies are also being suppressed in traffic, so who would dare to speak up?
