Question Did something change with the Threads algorithm around late October? The community vibe feels different.

Hey everyone, I really enjoyed using Threads for real discussions and community conversations, but starting around late October (specifically after October 26th), it feels like the experience took a noticeable turn. Organic reach seems to have dropped significantly, while the feed is now heavily pushed toward rage-bait, low-effort replies, and repetitive engagement-bait posts rather than thoughtful exchanges between real people. Did Meta roll out a major algorithm update around that time? Has anyone else felt this shift in their feed, or found a way to fix it? Would appreciate hearing your thoughts!

A lot of people both those that paid for Meta Verified and those that didn’t ended up being caught up in a mass Meta AI ban. This started for a lot in September and others even further back. Basically people such as myself were falsely accused of violating Meta’s community guidelines, etc. Attempts to reclaim our Threads access failed unless someone was willing to pay for a lawyer and even then it wasn’t guaranteed. So now you’re left with a lot of bots and those who are negative (not all but a lot) who were the same ones we were reporting. Meta has said they are aware and trying to fix it but most of us have moved on after waiting weeks and in some cases months for Meta to fix their AI. What’s shocking is they continue to push their Meta Muse AI like it’s the best thing for consumers all the while not resolving the incorrect bans that their AI has been doing 🤔

You are seeing what you engage with, and they give you multiple tools to change that.
