You're vastly underestimating the sheer volume of fearmongering engagement farmers that would post things like "BREAKING: [insert unconfirmed rumor here]".
If nothing else, the existence of the White House app allows those "engagement farmers" on X to have a reliable source to base their posts off of instead of just going off of whatever seems to be viral in the moment (which is exactly what engagement farmers do, chase whatever's going viral).
It's why I stopped going on X, the constant amount of fearmongering and rage inducing posts on there, it always put me in a bad mood just scrolling on there for a few minutes, seeing things that are happening all over the world and there's nothing you can do about it. Kinda have a feeling that's why people are so angry all the time, scrolling on X will piss you off instantly.
Kinda pointless. X was perfectly fine.

X always gets me in a bad mood within minutes.
Yep. And the algorithm can be wonky.
