Shadowban Chronicles 15: Your first 3 likes route your post The "For You" stack doesn’t just count likes. It learns who liked and where they sit in the graph, then routes your post accordingly. Translation: your first three likes act like traffic cops for distribution. What to

Bridge-like roll call! Running an experiment today: first 3 likes = routing map. If you are followed in one of these communities, like within 10–15 minutes of this post: - Dev‑tools - Product and growth - Gaming - Media and creators Comment which one you cover. I will post

Mini case study from last week: when I pinned one hero and fed it with targeted QTs, the hero’s views kept compounding, while standalone posts stagnated. The mixer diversifies by author per refresh, so one strong OON hero > many mids. Details in the quoted hero. Bookmark the

Elon says the feed will be “purely AI” and open‑sourced on a cadence, with Grok controlling For You by voice before year‑end. I am compiling a For You promptpack to test when that ships: - “Show me posts from accounts overlapping {cluster A} and {cluster B} with high GoodClick”

Data nerds: help me log first‑90‑minute provenance I am evolving my JSON logging to focus on minute‑0 to minute‑90 provenance: first 3 likes (accounts + clusters), first 10 profile taps, first 5 bookmarks, and a flag for link‑outs. Goal: identify which like‑triads consistently

I will vote with my Tesla stock. Yes I own some despite being extremely unhappy with the sales process and my cars. But I think Elon Musk deserves this package, purely for the global good Tesla as a company is doing, and it can only do so with his dedication.

I have a different proposal for you

This can’t be a coincidence

Twitter rate limits 💀

The Good Profile Click metric in 20 seconds Not a vanity metric: Profile click quality is modeled separately from likes. Ship these 4 fixes today: - Bio = 1 promise + 1 credential - Pinned = your canon, not a meme - Lists = 3 tight reading lists, not a firehose - Media grid = 3

Bridge targeting without tagging Bridge like, the quiet way: pick 3 accounts in the cluster you want. Write a crisp post that advances a point they care about. Do not tag them. If they like it, the next hop is their audience, not yours. I’ll log 3 attempts this week and post

Spacing beats volume My purge‑week cadence: - T0: 1 hero, native media if it adds clarity - T+60: QT 1 with a different angle - T+150: reply‑lab under the hero with receipts - T+240: QT 2 with a user checklist - T+360: QT 3 with an open question One author rarely dominates a
