i have been following nikita bier since he joined x and honestly i am not impressed. he clearly did well with fast growing teen apps like tbh and gas but leading product at a global platform like x is a completely different challenge and it does not feel like he is handling it well from what i have seen his push to crack down on engagement farming reposts crypto content and bots has ended up hurting creators more than helping. reach and payouts seem to have taken a hit the for you feed feels off and accounts outside their home regions seem to struggle more because of the priority changes. on top of that there have been sudden policy shifts that even had to be rolled back which has made things feel unstable for people relying on the platform his public comments have not helped either. some of them come across as out of touch or unnecessarily sharp and it gives the impression that he is not fully tuned in to how people on the platform actually feel. overall it feels like there is more focus on quick experiments than on building something consistent and reliable for creators cleaning up spam is important no doubt but the current approach feels like it is pushing away the very people who keep the platform active. instead of improving the experience it has made many users frustrated and uncertain
