People overthink algorithms.

The Instagram algorithm, TikTok algorithm, Substack algorithm, X algorithm. They all want the same thing:

Content that keeps people on the platform.

If your content is so good people stop scrolling to read it, share it, save it, comment on it? The algorithm promotes it.

If your content is forgettable? The algorithm buries it.

There's no hack. No secret time to post. No magic hashtag combination.

Make better content. That's the whole algorithm strategy.

I hit 241K followers not by gaming an algorithm. By making content people actually wanted to share with their friends.
