How to go viral on X?

[khatarnak]

X and Bitcointalk are not that different.
On X you need engagement, big accounts and the right connections.
On Bitcointalk you need merits, familiar names and some friends around you.
Different platform, same game: attention is the real currency.

X has bots and engagement groups,
Bitcointalk has alt accounts and merit circles...
every platform has its own version of "networking"

I find it quite weird asking this, as one can feel very proud and happy about what they have accomplished on one site, only to feel... inadequate, on a larger one.

 A few things I have found:

- Ads do not work. They don't even make it to blue checks.
- Follow and follow-back does not work.
- Getting replied to by a large account does work, temporarily. Because unless there are mainly bots who followed you from a given action, the churn rate should be very low.

So the strategy becomes finding large accounts' posts fast enough, and replying to them.

But how? How to measure if a given post will go viral and its worth taking a shot?

Usually cases of virality in X usually are from either popular accounts, popular issues, content hungry post, and accounts that usually post bs or fights other users for clout. Most of the time its usually misinformation and shit posts that attracts people. Some popular accounts in X are actually more on fan accounts that post different random things, others post things like thirst contents too to gain attraction.

it's harder to go viral on x than on any other social media app to the best of my knowledge, but still it can be policed and there's usually a formula for it. Not quite far from what you mentioned about following big accounts and replying fasts but what works most on x is specifically targeting an audience, and they'll do the rest for you from quotes, comments and reposts.

I too would be interested in a preferably free strategy to increase my followers/reals on x that are not bots

Why X? Why not nostr?

I've been grinding on X for over two years now and I gotta admit it's hard..
I have over 15k posts/replies combined and I don't post slop or copy paste shit at all.
I sit at around 5k followers, I post mostly about crypto and memecoins, meanwhile I trade a lot of crypto myself too.

Organic engagement is almost 404. 25% of my tweets get even 1 reply.
Just few of my posts have gone viral.
Also it's normal to have 5-10 unfollows each day, some of them are hunting for F4F, meanwhile some of them are bots.

People tend to use engagement groups but X will suspend your account if you do so.

Good topic btw, I just wanted to share my experience.

This is not healthy behavior. Actually, going on X at all is unhealthy behavior. Have you ever heard of the Matthew Effect? This means that social media has about nothing to do with your skills, abilities, how hard you work, or the qualities of your posts, but it has everything to do with whatever stupid nonsense people worship these days. And these days, people are all into stupid nonsense. People also tend to follow whoever is already popular and rarely if ever give a new person a chance. And this is with all social media. And the exponential distribution of the number of views, likes, etc produced by the recommender system just makes this even worse.
