X’s loosened character limits could invite AI slop, one user warns

A reply argues that X has become a worse tradeoff as character limits loosen.
- The author says old character limits made it hard to say anything substantial, but they also constrained low-effort posting.
- With longer posts, discourse may become more substantive if users curate carefully.
- The counterpoint is that removing limits invites verbose AI slop and pushes the platform closer to LinkedIn-style content.
