Twitter has become a happening place since Elon Musk bought the microblogging website. Musk, after completing the Twitter takeover, made wholesale changes to the platform.
These changes have led many users to complain about a drop in their engagement on the social media platform.
However, a writer from the US seems to have found a way to change the Algorithm to go viral on Twitter once again.
Ryan Broderick, writing for the Garbage Day newsletter, shows everyone how he manipulated Twitter's algorithm to regain his reach on the platform.
Twitter "for you" feed algorithm manipulation
In a series of tweets, Broderick poked fun at the Tesla CEO, saying Musk can't build anything, saying Twitter's 'For You' feature, which launched in January, is an algorithm "put together from existing parts."
Broderick noted that Musk's reach dropped significantly after he made changes to Twitter's algorithm, but with his research, he found that the new 'For You' feature already focuses on viral content.
Broderick changed the way Twitter was used and focused on content that was already engaging Twitter users.
This change in his tweeting style did wonders for him as his 'hypothesis' received 1 million views on Twitter's 'for you' algorithm.
Most of Broderick's tweets from the 19-tweet thread were viewed by half a million Twitter users.
Broderick noted that the new algorithm also prioritizes Twitter content and wants users to engage with video content through quote-tweets or replies.
The conclusion of Broderick's hypothesis is that only evergreen tweets go viral because Twitter's latest feature isn't seasonal, and your tweet is more likely to go viral if it's a quote tweet of an already viral tweet.
Other users on Twitter also praised Broderick for his surprisingly accurate prediction of how to go viral on Twitter by changing the algorithm.
Some Twitter users say that even though they don't follow Ryan Broderick, his tweets appear in their feeds.
