Bug Report Algorithm is a disaster

For the last 3 days, my for you page is like a duplicate of my following tab and does not show the same tweets like I used to see. I have to go on the search button and scroll down to the for you section to look at some sensible tweets. Is this happening to anyone else? Have been spamming the support account but no response.

It’s on both

Happens on both for me too, but if I scroll the search tab's for you page instead of the main one it's closer to what I'm used to seeing.

Yes, that’s what I’m using as well but I don’t want to do that every time. Just want it to go back to normal

I had this problem around 3 months ago. It pops up occasionally and takes approximately a week or so to go back to normal (having it again rn). In the meantime, I use other apps or my alt account.

It comes back so often?! It’s so frustrating because there’s no way to report this. What other apps do you use?

It's a known recurring algorithm glitch. When X pushes backend algorithm adjustments or server-side tests, recommendation pipelines can temporarily collapse or fail to deliver new suggested posts, defaulting your recommendation feed to posts exclusively from accounts you already follow. ​Spamming customer support unfortunately won't get a direct reply, as support responses are largely automated

It’s been 3/4 days 😭😭 I love browsing on twitter so this is just annoying

Since it happens on both the app and website, clearing the app cache probably won’t help. If you have another account, check its For You feed on the same device. That could tell you whether this is affecting your account specifically or more broadly.

It works fine on my alt account
