Not interested — a NEGATIVE ranking signal
Predicted probability the viewer hits 'Not interested in this post'. One of four explicit negative heads subtracted in the formula.
Last public weight: none — this head first appeared publicly in the 2026 release; no weight value has ever been published.
2026 weight: withheld (negative) — all current weights live in an
unpublished params module. The weights story →
What actually moves it
Off-lane content shown broadly (rage-bait, forced trends, repetitive formats) accumulates not-interested risk. Relevance beats reach-grabbing.
Where it sits in the formula
Phoenix (a Grok-1-architecture transformer, phoenix/README.md)
predicts P(not_interested) per viewer from that viewer’s own
engagement history — not from your post’s running like-count. The prediction is
multiplied by its weight and summed with the other 21 terms, then the
author-diversity decay and
out-of-network multiplier apply.
