@nicolasmerouze ah brand searches is the answer then. that's the bit that can't be interception, someone has to already know the name to search it. signups and paid on their own wouldn't tell you either way
@adamofk_ ahh i see, still maybe worth setting it anyway, in three months you'll want to know which channel the first 50 came from and you can't reconstruct it later!
most X advice tells you replies are how you get discovered.
the code says replies from accounts the viewer doesn't follow are filtered out of For You before ranking even happens. they reach the thread and nobody else.
so replies aren't distribution. they're how you acquire mutuals. and a mutual is what takes your originals from reply weight 5.0 to 20.0 in their feed.
reply to acquire. post to reach.
