    honestly the biggest change with the recent tweak is that “engagement velocity” matters way more than total reach now. if your post doesn’t get meaningful replies (not just bots) in the first 15 minutes, it’s basically dead in the water. real talk, for crypto twitter especially, the algorithm is heavily penalizing accounts that just spam external links to dexes or telegrams without any native content. i’ve been focusing on “reply-guying” high-authority accounts first to build that initial signal before i even drop my own thread. quality over volume is the only way to beat the 2026 shadowban filters fr.
