Our Reading
The launch follows a familiar script.
X is revamping its platform with AI-powered custom timelines, because what’s more personalized than an algorithm deciding what you should see? The new timelines will be curated by Grok, because humans are so last season. And, of course, there are new ad slots, because revenue never sleeps. It’s just another day in the never-ending cycle of “innovation” in social media. Because what users really wanted was more ads and less control over their feeds.
