    "## 1. Executive summary",
    "For a **small build-in-public / solo-SaaS account in 2026**, reach is not “post more MRR screenshots.” Evidence across CODE, STUDIES, and growth cases converges on four truths:",
    "1. **The algorithm pays for conversation surfaces, not likes.** Open-source Phoenix defaults weight copy-link share and reply+mutual boost at **+20.0** each vs like at **+0.5** (~40× on the weight table). Quote and base reply are **+5.0** (~10× like). Optimize for replies you answer, quotes, and posts people copy-link — not like farming.  ",
    "   Sources: https://github.com/xai-org/x-algorithm/blob/main/home-mixer/params/param.rs · algorithm brief §1.2",
    "2. **Text + threads win the format tables; bare link posts underperform.** Ordinal (87,528 posts): Thread **1.89%** eng / **27,508** avg imps; Text **0.67%** / **46,731** (highest reach); Link **0.68%** / **9,573**. Buffer (18.8M posts): Premium text > video > image ≫ links; Regular median eng on links → **0%** by Mar 2025. There is **no** `has_link` kill switch in published Phoenix bool features — underperformance is engagement-mix + visibility layers, not a secret flag.  ",

    "3. **Grown BIP accounts reply down; small-reply ≥10k views exist but cluster under mega threads.** Hubs (@marclou, @jackfriks, @robj3d3, @DanielSmidstrup, etc.) systematically reply to &lt;5k accounts. Enriched replies-timing: **8 / 10** fxtwitter-verified small (&lt;~500 fol) replies with ≥10k views (shortfall −2; padded 0) — peak **154,249** (@SamGCoder under @mattshumer_). **Skew:** these sit under **AI mega demos** (Astra / OpenCode / theo / levelsio), not quiet TrustMRR-help threads (those stay tens–low thousands). Measure reply success as **early specific mini-posts + hub reply-backs / profile visits**, not assuming every niche reply clears 10k.  ",
    "   Sources: replies-timing §1–3 + §5 · growth-cases pipe · https://thebootstrappedfounder.com/how-i-use-twitter/",
    "4. **@gochaberulava’s last-30d mix is reply-heavy and original-weak vs the playbook.** Audit: **324/384** posts are replies (**84.4%**); originals avg ~**76** views (no-agent) vs agent-tagged originals **18.3**; best original **402** views (usectl roadmap image); link originals avg **59.7**; **22/60** originals had zero engagement. Peak day sprayed **46** posts — conflicts with author-diversity CODE (later same-author posts decay toward **0.25×**).  ",
    "   Sources: audit COUNTS + group stats · algorithm §1.8 author_diversity_scorer.rs",
    "**Bottom line:** Ship fewer, stronger **text takes and short threads** with specific deltas; treat replies as **mini-posts under mid-tier ICP hubs in the first 5–30 minutes**; keep Premium if X is a real channel (Buffer ~**10×** median reach Premium vs Regular); stop bare MRR theater, generic praise, mega-celeb emoji replies, and high-volume same-day self-competition. Treat ≥10k reply views as a **mega-thread lottery**, not the default BIP support-thread outcome.",
