How Stake Hacked X’s Community Notes Algorithm

[Raxolori]

I saw a clip of someone feeding ducks that got a community note about hidden gambling, and the quote tweets just kept rolling in with people checking if the bread was a referral link.

tbh it’s wild how the algo just sees angry replies and community notes as pure engagement fuel, it literally can’t tell the difference between hate and hype

Real man

i kinda disagree tho, the whole thing only worked because the posters kept baiting with rage fodder videos, if the content was just boring gambling junk nobody wouldve even bothered to flag it

Really

Trying to call out the scam just multiplied its reach, that backfired way harder than staying silent.

I saw a cooking tutorial get flagged with a note about hidden Stake links and the view count tripled in 20 minutes, the algorithm just read the rapid fire replies as a heated debate and kept pushing it higher

It’s a brilliant fluke honestly, no way they blueprinted the exact Community Notes loophole but once tehy saw the algo juicing flagged posts they went all in.

honestly the algorithm twist is insane, turning a warning label into free promo is some next level loophole

you can still mute specific words like "crash" or "stake" to scrub yuor feed a bit

I saw a note under a funny cat video get deleted within minutes but the Stake post kept clmibing the feed anyway.

I saw a clip of someone baking bread get tagged and within 20 minutes the roulette table in the ad had like 600 viewers, all from people arguing about whether the note was fair or not. It's basically free traffic any time someone gets mad enough to check what the fuss is about.
