Alex Finn / @AlexFinn:
Elon just updated the entire X algorithm code
I just went through all 24,000 lines of the algo
What I read blew me away
Here’s everything you need to know about how to go viral and if you can still get shadowbanned: 🧵

R to @AlexFinn: 🔶HOW TWEETS GO VIRAL
Every time you post, your content gets a score
It gets a positive score for positive engagement, and a negative score for negative engagements. Then it's all added up
The higher your score, the more people see your content
Alex Finn / @AlexFinn:
R to @AlexFinn: Positive actions:
• Getting replies
• Getting RT's
• Someone clicks on your photo
• Clicks on your profile
• Shares your post
• Shares your post in DMs
• Copies link
• Spends a long time on your bost
Negative actions:
• Quickly scrolls
• Clicks not interested
• Blocks you
• Mutes you
• Reports you
Alex Finn / @AlexFinn:
R to @AlexFinn: 🔶 NO REPEATING
The feed tries to show you only one post per author
Every subsequent post you put out gets decaying scores
Meaning, if you post a bunch during the day, your odds of showing up on people's feeds decays for every next post
Don't spam the feed
Alex Finn / @AlexFinn:
R to @AlexFinn: 🔶AD SAFETY IS CRITICAL
There is a lot of logic around ad safety
Meaning, if your post isn't friendly for advertisers, it might get ranked differently on the feed
They're probably not going to put ads on your crazy conspiracy theories
Alex Finn / @AlexFinn:
R to @AlexFinn: 🔶 THE ALGO LOOKS FOR BANGERS
There is actual logic in the algo for finding Bangers
It scans your posts for tags, category, quality, and even SLOP SCORE
That's right, if you post slop, your post is dead in the water
I'd go for quality over quantity
Alex Finn / @AlexFinn:
R to @AlexFinn: 🔶 There is an emphasis on IN NETWORK
In network posts get a big score boost
Meaning, posts from people you follow get an advantage
This was highly controversial for a while because people felt like their followers were not seeing their content
This appears to be fixed
Alex Finn / @AlexFinn:
R to @AlexFinn: 🔶 SHADOWBANNING
There are multiple labels your content can get that will dock it
• NSFW
• Gore
• Violence
• And much more
Posting your click bait fight videos don't work anymore. Try to raise the vibrations of the community
Alex Finn / @AlexFinn:
R to @AlexFinn: 🔶 SLOP SCORE IS EVERYWHERE
There is a 'slop score' mentioned multiple times in the code
X is cracking down hard on eliminating AI content, and it's implementing logic to find and get rid of it
Stop posting your AI videos of dragons fighting fairies fighting knights
Alex Finn / @AlexFinn:
R to @AlexFinn: Pretty simple, post high quality, not slop, not bait content
Make it original, don't copy others
It might feel good in the moment to attack and bait, but long term you are destroying your content scores
If you feel like your engagement is going down, this might be the reason
