Key 2026 Algorithm Rules
Based on open-source X algorithm code (github.com/twitter/the-algorithm):
- No links in main tweet — 30-50% reach penalty; put links in first reply
- Max 1-2 hashtags — more than 2 causes 40% penalty
- Pure text beats video by 30% — X is the only platform where this is true
- Reply every genuine comment in first hour — weight +75 (150x a like)
- Bookmarks signal value — weight +10 (20x a like)
- Premium accounts get 10x reach vs free accounts
- Post 3-5 times per day, 30-60 min apart
- TweepCred threshold is 65 — below 65, only 3 tweets get distributed
- Grok reads tone — positive content gets more reach
- 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+
