if you want advice on how to "beat" the algorithm
i need you to listen to me
the algorithm is a system that includes the engineers working on it. the engineers have an objective function. it is very carefully measured. they run benchmarks against previous versions, and know exactly the effects of what they change (to the best of their ability)
at the core of all algorithms is a neural network optimizer. what gets fed into it is a platonic representation of concepts, and it quite literally understands the difference of things in this space. i am a specific type of person. there might not even be a name for someone like me. but the algorithm has me modelled, and knows how people like me tend to behave
your audience is your community. you don't want the algorithm to recommend your posts to people who don't get you. the algorithm works. recommendation systems have been solved. do you understand me? everything beyond this point is just post hoc tuning.
the algorithm, quite literally, has authenticity modelled in its weights. i bet you anything that you could train a classifier off of the embeds of users that split them into authentic and non authentic. there is no getting away, there is no faking it
you want to "beat" the algorithm? stop being a fake ass fuck loser. try being yourself. and focus on improving yourself, your person, become more honest. that too, is modelled by the algorithm
the algorithm knows when you're being needy
