No matter how attractive the X creator program looks on paper, it doesn't really matter if the algorithm never surfaces your articles to people who've already engaged with your work.
The system clearly optimizes for spread, and spread tends to happen fastest when content pokes at a core human insecurity or offers a quick hit of hope. That's the incentive structure.
Writing in broadly familiar language will always win on discovery. Meanwhile, people trying to introduce genuinely different perspectives or challenge existing mental models get almost no algorithmic support.
Recycling the same narrative in slightly different packaging doesn't actually add anything to a reader's intellectual capacity. It might hold attention for a moment, but if that attention isn't pointed toward discovering something new, it's effectively squandered, even if it doesn't feel that way at the time.
