IsMyXFeedFcked – Analyze How Your X Feed's Impacting You

If I were to use this credulously, I'd be committing the same error as believing everything in my X feed.

I have no idea who made this tool or what their biases are, why would I believe their analysis any more than I'd believe a stranger on X? I can't find any information on who is behind this.

The different axes that they uses for analysis (health, political balance, "vibe', etc) are all inherently subjective. How are they measured?

Hi - I made this baby:

Each post is scored based on a bunch of metrics - yes, is gemini setting attribute values for each post.

These attributes are then all summed and some stats used to create your 'scores' - these are just based on percentile, e.g. top 90% violence = a high violence score.

The health is a weighted sum of the other metrics.

Fair point about 'subjective nature of things'. I've found combining the more subjective scoring with statistics and comparison has made the scoring more grounded

Thanks for the feedback!

I very much doubt it even works or tries to, even though a lot of barriers have been lifted recently (I'm handwaving at https://xkcd.com/1425/ x the input being just a video x output sold as rigorous deep analysis)

I have a stroooong feeling this is just a wrapper around Gemini, as it has video input.
