Aggregators are a cancer to social networks; they’re all running on auto-pilot.
Instagram killed aggregators in 2022 (e.g., “thefatjewish” and “middeclassfancy”) and it led to an explosion of original content.
It is going to work much better for X:
Our users are smarter and have a lot more to say—as long as their voices are not drowned out by automated accounts.
We are publicly demonetizing the most egregious aggregators and using them as examples, so the rest can start evolving.
The endstate of X in a month: we will never pay twice for the same content. We will only reward for net new contributions to the Timeline.

Up a little is better than down a lot. Protect your capital, drink more milk.
