I spent the last 5 hours analyzing it.
Here's how it works and how you can beat it: -
1. Focus on likes

Each type of engagement & how it can boost your tweets
• Like 30x
• Retweet 20x
• Trusted circle 3x
• Image/video 2x
• Twitter blue 2-4x
• Replies 1x pic.twitter.com/LeN4fKXIhP -
2. Having a bad rep hurts
— Sohaib Albadawee (@albadawee) April 3, 2023
Avoid these at all costs:
• Links only
• Blank text
• Unfollow
• Report
• Mute
• Block -
3. Every tweet gets ranked.

Twitter uses these parameters:
• Users' interaction with your content.
• Users' interest in your topic.
• Twitter Blue subscription.
• If you are Elon Musk. pic.twitter.com/f8yHRehovi -
4. Avoid blacklisted topics

Topics to avoid:
• Harmful activities
• Hateful speech
• Ukraine Crisis
• Violence
Detailed topics are unknown and live in a database. pic.twitter.com/xJTELhuzn9 -
5. Follower/following ratio matters

More following than followers will hurt you.
Don't start mass unfollowing, you will get shadowbanned. pic.twitter.com/BfZsrmQ5tt -
6. Hijacking trends = growth
— Sohaib Albadawee (@albadawee) April 3, 2023
Timing is everything, Twitter boosts:
• Trends
• Media
• News pic.twitter.com/tYl4nIpza1 -
7. Your writing can hurt you
— Sohaib Albadawee (@albadawee) April 3, 2023
Optimize for:
• Readability
• Language
• Spelling pic.twitter.com/D2kejBarJY -
8. You are who you interact with
— Sohaib Albadawee (@albadawee) April 3, 2023
Interact with quality users → Increase your influence
Interact with low quality users → Marked as spam pic.twitter.com/AdabVsKmeD -
9. You live in a cluster
— Sohaib Albadawee (@albadawee) April 3, 2023
Twitter groups users into clusters.
Don't try to cover 10 random niches.
Stick to your topics. pic.twitter.com/f5c1hBosJn -
10. Get a blue checkmark
— Sohaib Albadawee (@albadawee) April 3, 2023

Tweets boost 2-4x
