Here is exactly how your tweets are ranked
Found this in the algorithm code
The tweet's like count is the biggest impact. 30x the impact of replies.
Next is retweet count. 20x the impact of replies
Post something offensive? Tweet is dead in the water
Multiple hashtags?… twitter.com/i/web/status/1…
Going to be posting more findings as I uncover them.
Will be combing through the source code all night
Here's an obvious one, if you are verified, your entire account gets a big boost in the algorithm
Follower to following ratio matters.
If you follow way more users than are following you, your content will be deprioritized
Here are some more boosts/demotions your content can get
Boosts:
• Trends
• Media
• News
Demotions:
• No text
• URL only
• Name only
Links get de-prioritized if they are non-news or non-media.
Post outside links at your own risk
Here is how your account reputation is calculated.
It takes into account follower to following ratio, account age, device usage, if you've been restricted or suspended, and if you're verified.
Spend the $10
Posting more data all night. Follow and turn on notifications
Adding more to this thread momentarily
There's a ton of mind blowing things going on here
Before I continue tho:

Your "influence" on Twitter and in turn how likely your tweets are to be seen is heavily determined by the quality of users you interact with
Interact with low quality accounts with bad follower/following ratios and are marked as spam/nsfw/bots/toxic, you get penalized
There is a file of blacklisted topics.
These blacklisted topics are unknown and live in a database (not in this code)
If your tweet or username references these blacklisted topics, your profile and content get de-ranked
A lot of people are rushing to unfollow mass amounts of people based on this thread.
Follower/following ratio does matter, but if you unfollow a lot of people quickly, you will get shadowbanned
Mass unfollowing is considered a bot action by the algo and will deprioritize you
