The new algorithm's core problem? It basically puts all the eggs in one basket each day. You're locked into pushing a single trending topic if you want any visibility.

Before it was way more balanced—your feed mixed posts from accounts you actually follow with whatever was trending. Diversity existed.

Now the math is brutal: you're off-topic? You get buried. No second chances. Everyone chases the same narrative or faces algorithmic silence. It's killed the organic feel and made creator reach heavily dependent on riding whatever's hot that 24 hours.
