Key 2026 Algorithm Rules

Based on open-source X algorithm code (github.com/twitter/the-algorithm):

1. No links in main tweet — 30-50% reach penalty; put links in first reply
2. Max 1-2 hashtags — more than 2 causes 40% penalty
3. Pure text beats video by 30% — X is the only platform where this is true
4. Reply every genuine comment in first hour — weight +75 (150x a like)
5. Bookmarks signal value — weight +10 (20x a like)
6. Premium accounts get 10x reach vs free accounts
7. Post 3-5 times per day, 30-60 min apart
8. TweepCred threshold is 65 — below 65, only 3 tweets get distributed
9. Grok reads tone — positive content gets more reach
10. Long posts outperform threads — 2+ min read time gets +10 weight

Growth Playbook (Verified: 4,500 followers / 5M views in 30 days)

• Daily: 30-50 high-quality replies under top creator posts (not "lol" — real opinions)
• Daily: 3-5 original tweets (not more — new accounts get penalized for volume)
• Daily: Follow 5-10 accounts in your niche
• Content mix: 80% broad/relatable + 20% niche expertise
• Week 1-2: Focus entirely on engagement, not posting
• Open Premium early — comments get priority ranking, platform treats you as legitimate

Requirements

• bash 4+
