ThePeterMick · x · 2026-08-19
An analysis of the latest X (Twitter) recommendation algorithm code using Opus 5 reveals specific weights for various engagement actions:
- Rankings: Share by copying link (20), Reply from mutuals (20), Reply (5), Quote (5), Send via DM (5), Follow author (4), Share via button (2), Repost (1), Like (0.5), Tap into post (0.4), Click link (0.2).
- Key Takeaway: Original posts are prioritized; Community posts are ineligible for out-of-network recommendation reach, meaning they will never go viral. The strategy suggests focusing on original content and encouraging link copying.
