I read through all 600,000 lines of code in the new X Algorithm

It took me 13 hours to do it. Let me save you that time.

Here’s the top 9 things you need to know in order to succeed on X:

1. Time on content is the most important engagement metric on X. This is why Articles perform so well
   
   
2. There is an Author Diversity Penalty. Meaning, after you show up on a feed once during a day, you're less likely to show up again. Spamming posts will hurt you big time.
   
   
3. The posts that show up on your feed are based on the last 128 posts you've engaged with. Don't engage with posts you don't want to see more of.
   
   
4. X wants to eliminate toxicity. If you’re consistently attacking or trolling others the algorithm will pick up on it
   
   
5. X wants to eliminate spammers. Posting the same thing over and over again will flag you quick
   
   
6. Followers don't matter. Dead metric. The only thing the algo cares about is if you make valuable content.
   
   
7. Your post performance is determined by a score. The score is good engagements (likes, RTs, etc.) minus bad engagements (blocks, mutes).
   
   
8. Reply guy is the ultimate small account strategy. X is built on conversation. It will reward people who conversate
   
   
9. All of these previous rules come down to one thing. Don’t game the system. Don’t be a jerk. Raise the vibrations of X.
   
   If you’re only goal is to create engagement, you’re going to lose.
   
   If you’re goal is to create great content and generate conversation, you’re going to win
