Deep Tide TechFlow News, on November 18, according to The Verge, a latest study from Queensland University of Technology (QUT) shows that since Musk publicly supported Trump's presidential campaign in July this year, the X platform has reportedly made 'platform-level' algorithm adjustments, significantly increasing the visibility of posts from Musk and other conservative users.
Research data shows that after July 13, Musk's post views surged by 138%, and retweets skyrocketed by 238%. Researchers Timothy Graham and Mark Andrejevic pointed out that this growth far exceeds the overall interaction trend of the platform. During the same period, other Republican-leaning accounts also experienced similar increases, but to a relatively smaller extent.
It is worth noting that both The Wall Street Journal and The Washington Post have recently published similar research findings, indicating a right-wing bias in the X platform's algorithms. However, due to X shutting down its academic API interface, the research team stated that data collection has certain limitations.
