What is the “Dissimilar Posts” Feature?
There has also been talk about the exact opposite feature. This feature will be built to show users content that they would not normally see or that is different than their views.
This feature will urge users to create more conversation on the app by exposing people to new and opposing views. This has the potential to teach people about both sides of things as well as create more dialogue and engagement on posts.
Why Launch a Similar and Dissimilar Post Feature?
There were many reasons other than lots of user feedback that these features were launched. Some of the key features include:
- Deeper understanding of topics– being able to search about similar topics that interest you allows you to read more in-depth information.
- Understanding different sides– being able to view dissimilar posts, it will allow users to learn and broaden their horizons on information that they would not normally search for or see on their feeds.
- Empowering Users– having both features, Similar and Dissimilar, allows users to feel more in control of the content they see. This is very much more personal of a feed than the normal uniform type.
Ever since Twitter became X, there have been no shortages of updates and new features. These new AI Features have the potential to change a lot about the content you consume on the app. We would love to hear your thoughts. Will you be utilizing this content?
