the x algorithm just got exposed and if you've been posting for likes, you've been wasting your time. here’s the simple way to understand the x algorithm: 👇 reply: ↑ high weight means people cared enough to respond. repost: ↑ high weight people think it’s worth sharing. favorite: ↑ medium weight people liked it, but may not come back. follow author: ↑ very high weight the strongest signal for growth. click: ↑ medium weight people wanted to know more. dwell time: ↑ medium weight people stopped scrolling and read. and these hurt reach badly: 👇 not interested: ↓ high penalty the algorithm sees your content as irrelevant. mute author: ↓ high penalty people don’t want to see your posts anymore. @X is also pushing down repetitive, low-quality, ai-looking content. Posting more doesn’t always help. If you post too much in a short time, your own posts start competing with each other. the accounts winning now are: ╰┈➤ consistent on one topic ╰┈➤ making people stop scrolling ╰┈➤ genuinely worth following that’s the whole algorithm.
