**X Rolls Out “Topic Exhaustion” Alerts to Fight Information Overload**

**SAN FRANCISCO, CA – [Date]** – X announced a new feature today called “Topic exhaustion” alerts. This tool warns users when they might be seeing too much about a single subject.
Social media feeds can sometimes bombard users with the same topic. X noticed this could overwhelm people. They built “Topic exhaustion” alerts to help. The alerts appear directly in a user’s feed.
Here’s how it works. X uses artificial intelligence to watch what topics show up often for a user. If one topic appears too much, too quickly, the system flags it. Then, an alert pops up on the user’s screen. The alert tells the user they might be experiencing topic exhaustion.
The alert explains what topic exhaustion means. It means seeing so much about one thing it becomes tiring or stressful. Seeing the alert lets the user know what’s happening. The user can then choose what to do next.
After an alert, X also reduces how often that specific topic appears in the user’s feed. This gives the user a break. It helps prevent fatigue from constant updates on the same event or issue.
A company spokesperson explained the goal. “We want people to stay informed. But too much information on one thing isn’t helpful. It can drain people. These alerts give users control. They help manage their experience.”
