The author is also looking to get readership, so the correct, but basically impossible, advice is:

Make sure that the vast majority of your potential readership are actively avoiding the default experience being heavily promoted by the platform.

One could also say that his complaint is that he used to be a bigger fish relative to the pond, but now that there are more users on the platform he is getting more competition.

[ZeroGravitas]

So you are going back on your previous advice to him and now suggesting he'd find better things to read by letting the algorithm choose?

[boxed]

No. I don't see how you could say that.

I think there are two things:

1. he wants to see good things (use the "following" tab)

2. he wants to be seen (can't do much about that except be more rage-inducing)

[ZeroGravitas]

He presumably considers his content "good things" and wants relevant people to see it, and at one point they did. Just as he found good content.

He thinks they're now being shown rage-inducing bullshit instead by the algorithm.

You seem to agree with this analysis from the point of view of a reader, but think from a writers point of view he's just being outcompeted by better content. That seems inconsistent.

So what is his move, to get good non rage bait content to an audience, except to leave twitter?

[boxed]

That's true. There is a problem with the platform even having an algorithm at all. Mastodon does not, so that's a good option.

Threads is much worse at least...
