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

Before I continue tho:

Doing a full detailed breakdown of the algorithm and how to get ahead of it in my newsletter in a few days

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

It helped me build an app by myself without writing a single line of code

That app is now making me over $300,000 a year

🔶 Come up with an idea to build

The best apps in the world solve challenges

If you build an app that solves one of your own challenges, the odds are you're solving other people's challenges too

Take the prompt in the next post and put it into Grok or the LLM of your choice Image

🔶 Claude Code

This is Mark Rober

He spent years building one of the strongest reputations in social media. Loved by tens of millions of followers

Yesterday he obliterated it all with one 18 minute video

It's a story of greed, deception, and cowardice

Here's the story of what happened: Image
Mark is a long time Youtuber who spent years accruing over 65 million subscribers

He filmed wildly entertaining videos testing the limits of physics and tech

He was Mr. Beast BEFORE there was a Mr. Beast

Yesterday he let money, politics, and greed get in the way of all that Image
Mark put out a video titled "Can You Fool A Self Driving Car?"

The concept of the video is simple. Drive a Tesla in Full Self Driving mode on a road where there is a wall painted like a road

See if the Tesla cameras see the wall and cause the car to stop

Harmless enough right? Image
