What this drop does to your feed:
- Sitting still, likes, and shares climb. Time on a post, likes, shares, and reading after you leave Home now count more. Opening a video counts 0. Taps count a bit less. Not interested hurts more.
- Geo-blocked clips leave the feed. You still see your own video even if your country is on the block list. Following and For You now hide those clips for everyone else in that country.
- Risky stranger replies go quiet. A risky high-viz reply will not ping people who do not follow the author. Followers still get the alert. This only filters mention and reply notifications.
- Like and repost alerts check the post. A like or repost ping now also checks that the post is still yours and loadable. If the post is missing, the alert can vanish even when the like was real.
- Shopping ads lock the buttons. Dynamic product ads cannot be liked, replied, quoted, or bookmarked. You also cannot retweet, share, copy the link, or send them in a DM.

What this drop does to your feed:
- Grok Analyze can rank For You. The ranker can now score how likely you are to tap Grok Analyze, so explain-this posts can climb. The weight starts at 0. Until it turns on, nothing moves. After that, Grok-bait posts can jump.
- Reduced-reach is its own feed state. A limited post can show a dedicated warning and limited actions, not a sticker on a normal post. Quotes of those posts still show. A retweet can carry the warning to people who follow the original author.
- Blur beats the reduced-reach banner. If a post is already blurred as sensitive, you do not get a second reduced-reach overlay. You may miss that the post was also downranked, because only the blur shows.
- Blocked-by fail-open got tighter. Hide-because-they-blocked-you only fail-opens on the check that post actually needed. Nested replies whose original is out of the batch can leak in if the lookup times out. Best-effort lookups now give up in 100ms.
- Mentions filter the post, follows the person. A mention, reply, or photo tag is judged as that post, so limited posts can stay out of alerts. Follow alerts still judge the person. Mixing follow and mention alerts in one request fails.
