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

It's simple. X is now a video first platform.

The algo is pushing video BIG TIME. A video feed is coming SOON. The video app just launched

X wants you making videos. It will reward those that do and punish those that don't

This week the X open sourced algorithm is going to get a MAJOR update

You can't win on X unless you understand the algo

I went through every current line of code for you

Here's 6 landmines that are crippling your reach and what you can do to fix it:
🔶 Talking about controversial topics

There are blacklisted topics you cannot talk about on this platform

It isn't available in the front end code, so you need to make your best guesses here on what they are

Best bet: don't get too spicy on your timeline Image
ACTION ITEMS

Talk about trending topics, but don't get too controversial

Put yourself in an advertiser's shoes.

If whatever you're talking about would make an advertiser uncomfortable, you probably don't want to talk about it

🚨BREAKING: The X Algo is about to get a MAJOR update

Elon just announced he’ll be updating the open sourced algo code this week

I’ve read all 36,000 lines of the current algorithm

Before the new one releases, here’s a complete breakdown of the current one (MUST read): Image
First, let's talk boosts

Your post's replies are worth 13.5x more than likes

Profile clicks are worth 12x more than likes

Funny, seems everyone always talks about likes, but they’re meaningless

Replies are everything tho. THIS is why reply guy works Image
Next, being verified is literally a cheat code.

If you care about growing on X, you NEED to get verified

Check out this major boost Image

My X strategy is dead simple.

It’s gotten me 200,000 followers in 2 years:

• Replies: 10 minutes a day
• Posts: 2x per day
• 🧵s: 2x per week
• Long form posts: 4x a week
• DMs: 10 minutes a day

Here’s step by step how to replicate this strategy for yourself: Image
First off, bookmark the tweet above so you can refer to it when building your routine👆

Every strategy I'll go over below has 1 common component:

Giving VALUE

What's value? Your own unique skills

If you have no unique skills then learn some

First up, replies👇
🔶Replies

The single most powerful growth strategy on Twitter is replies

When you’re under 10,000 followers, your replies get way more visibility than your tweets

• Turn on notifications for a big account
• Wait for them to tweet
• Reply with high quality value Image
