X algorithm weights leaked: a report counts -355x a like, link copies 30x
FinanceYF5 · x · 2026-10-27
Shann Holmberg broke down X's latest algorithm update: the algo predicts how each person will react to your post, which decides if and where it shows up in their feed.
Weights vs. a like (like = 1x):
- Link copied: 30x
- Reply from someone you follow back: 30x
- Reply/quote/DM share: 7.6x
- Follow from the post: 6x
- Repost: 1.5x
- Like: 1x
- Bookmark: 0
Negative actions dwarf positive ones: report -355x, mute -89x, "not interested" -79x, block -47x. Reports weigh so heavily because they're rare; if X predicts someone is likely to mute or report you, your post ranks lower for them.
Actionable takeaways: post in the first 2 hours when you can engage with replies; write content people want to quote, reply to, or DM; prioritize replying to followers; stick to original content for reach. The algorithm rewards whether your first readers spread your content, not volume.
