Elon Musk-led X (formely twitter) has introduced a new Certified Bangers feature to highlight the platform’s most engaging monthly posts that inspire conversations, creativity and authentic interactions among users.
Every month, X will choose five standout posts as Certified Bangers. Creators of these posts will receive a special badge that appears on their profile for an entire month.
X selects posts based on real engagement metrics such as verified impressions, likes, bookmarks, reposts and replies. The company says this approach rewards genuine, impactful content that drives activity on the platform.
The Certified Bangers feature is part of X’s wider push to use Artificial Intelligence (AI) to enhance engagement and highlight posts that influence online culture and community conversations.
Eligible accounts must maintain good standing, meaning they should not repeatedly violate X’s terms, rules or policies. Consistent policy compliance is necessary to retain eligibility.
X has clarified that accounts attempting to exploit or manipulate the system or algorithms will be disqualified from earning the Certified Banger badge altogether.
X has started releasing the Certified Bangers badge for posts written in English. The company plans to extend this feature to additional languages in the coming phases.
