Does X care whether people read the whole post?

Updated 31 October 2026 · How X ranks posts

Short answer

Yes, more than before. Since October 2026 the model predicts time spent much better, and retrieval is trained to surface posts people read all the way through.

Cut the throat-clearing, keep one idea per post, and make long posts worth finishing.
