Elon Musk, owner of X (formerly Twitter), has revealed plans for a major overhaul of the platform’s algorithm and user experience, with a focus on enhancing user satisfaction and engagement. The upcoming changes are aimed at prioritizing content that maximizes what Musk describes as “unregretted user-seconds,” ensuring that time spent on the platform feels rewarding and enjoyable.
In a tweet on Saturday, Musk outlined the upcoming algorithm updates, which are designed to highlight more meaningful and entertaining content. These changes seek to address the growing concern over the dominance of negative content in user feeds, which, while increasing screen time, often leaves users feeling unsatisfied.
“Our goal is to maximize unregretted user-seconds. Too much negativity has been pushed, which may technically boost time spent on the platform but doesn’t make that time feel worthwhile,” Musk wrote.
The term “unregretted user-seconds” refers to a focus on ensuring that the time users spend on X is fulfilling and enjoyable, rather than consumed by sensationalism or negativity.
In addition to this, Musk announced that X is working on new features that will allow users to dynamically adjust their content feeds, giving them greater control over what they see at any given moment. This move is designed to allow users to tailor their experience according to their preferences, making the platform more flexible and personalized.
“We’re also developing simple ways for users to adjust the content feed dynamically, so you can have what you want at any given moment,” Musk tweeted.
Musk further emphasized X’s commitment to transparency, stating that the company’s engineering team (@XEng) will be detailing the updates, ensuring that users have insight into the changes. This initiative reflects Musk’s broader goal of making the platform more transparent and user-centric.
