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… Image
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 Image
Follower to following ratio matters.

If you follow way more users than are following you, your content will be deprioritized Image
Here are some more boosts/demotions your content can get

Boosts:
• Trends
• Media
• News

Demotions:
• No text
• URL only
• Name only Image
Links get de-prioritized if they are non-news or non-media.

Post outside links at your own risk Image
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 Image
Adding more to this thread momentarily

There's a ton of mind blowing things going on here

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 Image
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 Image
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

I turned 34 years old today.

The last year has been the single best year of my life

Here are 34 pieces of advice I wish I could tell myself earlier: Image
1. Skipping avocado toast doesn't make you rich. Skipping the bar on a Friday night to learn a new skill does

2. You’re going to be dead a whole lot longer than you’re going to be alive. Every second you spend at a 9-5 doing something you hate is a waste of time
3. Chasing love and relationships will only make it harder to obtain. The right one will come at the right time.

4. Build multiple streams of revenue as early as you can. Inflation is making your money worth way less and nobody is coming to save you

The way your posts are ranked has changed dramatically

What worked 3 months ago no longer works

I read through the thousands of lines of algorithm code that is currently available

Here is every action you need to take today to rank higher:
This post will completely change the way you interact on X

I highly recommend bookmarking the post above in order to come back to this as you shift your strategies 👆

I'm about to cover changes to:
• Replies
• Time on Content
• Monetization
• Trends
• De-boosting Image
🔶 Replies will get you noticed way more

Being a reply guy is more beneficial now

This new component pushes your replies to the timeline more

It makes sense. The more replies, the more ad views, the more money for X (and you)

Want to grow your account? Time to reply Image

Being a reply guy is the ultimate growth strategy on X

The issue is, 99% of people thinks that means spamming stupid replies and stolen memes

If you’re doing this, you’re not only hurting your growth, you’re destroying your brand

Here’s your reply guy master class: Image
First off, bookmark the post above so you can refer to this when writing replies 👆

If your definition of "reply guy" is spamming every Elon tweet, you're destroying your growth and brand

You need to be strategic and smart

Let's get into step 1, accounts to target: 👇 Image
🔶Which accounts do I target?

2 buckets:
• Big accounts you love
• Accounts your size with similar branding

You can't just spam Elon and expect to get anything out of it

You'll get a ton of impressions, but no growth or new network

All vanity metrics plus maybe $5 earned

The biggest X Payments info dump ever just happened

This completely revolutionizes social media forever, and gives you a massive opportunity to get PAID

Here's everything announced and how it will permanently change the way you use X:
First off, bookmark the post above so you can refer to it when building your X Payments strategy 👆

In this post I'll cover how X Payments will enable you to:

1. Save money
2. Spend money
3. Earn money

Let's get into all the announcements and new features:
🔶X will become your bank account

Imagine this: you get your ad revenue then that money starts earning 5% interest

This will be reality when X Payments launches

You'll be able to use X as your bank account, earn interest then use it to pay creators

THIS is the creator economy

🚨BREAKING: X has now acquired money transmitter licenses in HALF the US states

This is a life changing opportunity for X creators. Monetization is coming and it'll create MILLIONAIRES

No platform will pay creators more than X

Here are the 5 things you need to do to prepare: Shout out to @cb_doge for the image
Content monetization will allow for X empires to be built

You need to start preparing today

In this post I’ll cover:

• Experiment with video
• Master long form posts
• Master X Spaces
• Network with other content creators
• Improve your writing
🔶 Experiment with video

Video is taking over X BIG TIME:
• The algo is jamming it down people's throats
• Livestreaming is being built out
• Pre-roll ads are coming

Elon clearly wants X to compete with YT

If you want to monetize and grow an audience, video is a must Image

99% of people have no idea how X revenue-share works

Your replies DO NOT make you any money

Spamming memes on Elon's posts is a TOTAL waste of time

In this post I'm going to completely debunk all the revenue-sharing myths plus go over the massive changes from yesterday 🧵
Bookmark the post above to keep this guide handy 👆

Myth 1: Reply impressions make you money: ❌ FALSE

People turn on alerts for Elon then spam memes for every post

COMPLETE waste of time

They are not only worth $0 but they make you look thirsty
Myth 2: Engagement farming makes you money: ❌ FALSE

Writing posts with bait questions isn't making you $

You are not paid based on number of replies

You are paid on how many impressions you get to your reply section

Again, engagement farming questions make you look thirsty
