Elon Musk has announced a new policy on the social media platform X, targeting accounts that engage in 'engagement farming.' This practice, often criticized for degrading the quality of content on the platform, involves activities designed to manipulate algorithms for higher visibility and engagement. Musk's initiative will utilize an AI tool named Grok to identify and suspend accounts that violate these guidelines, including tracing the original sources of stolen content. The move aims to improve the overall content quality on X and discourage deceptive practices that exploit the platform's algorithm.
Trust me on this If you need to ask grok if you’re an engagement farmer, you’re not who Elon is talking about The people who should worry, KNOW that they are in the crosshairs now. Flagrant abusers With that said, I wish we had a more precise definition
Trust me on this If you need to ask grok if you’re an engagement farmer, you’re not who Elon is talking about. The people who should worry, KNOW that they are in the crosshairs now. Flagrant abusers. With that said, I wish we had a more precise definition.

Engagement farming is giving low IQ / low impulse control people what they want. When someone posts a video and says, “what do you NOTICE,” goobers zoom in and chatter and bicker. Out of snob appeal I’d ban it but that low tier content drives user engagement.
