X algorithm update: likes weight jumps to 0.708, AI replies may be flagged as 'llm slop'
ThePeterMick · x · 2026-11-07
X updated its open-source recommendation algorithm on Nov 5 — the first change in three weeks. Key weight shifts: likes 0.66→0.708 (highest ever), time spent on a post 0.006→0.0075, post taps 0.3→0.274, and video opens dropped to 0. A new rule may flag AI-generated replies on big accounts as "llm slop" so they never reach the author's notifications. Takeaway: a tap is no longer the win — reads and likes are what count now.
