X feels like it's run by LLM marketing accounts now, longtime user laments

User moonsandhues laments X's shift: it used to be full of smart, eccentric anon accounts genuinely engaging with the community and producing cool, weird ideas and art. Now it's cookie-cutter headshot profiles chasing virality.
In a follow-up she adds that X in 2024 felt run by anon accounts focused on tech, philosophy, and art — while now it feels run by LinkedIn-type marketing accounts whose every short post comes from an LLM promoting the boring company they work for. A sharp observation on AI slop eroding community culture.
