This is how the algorithm works on social media. Once you learn the algorithm, you know the rules of the game and then you know how to win the game. When you first publish your content, it gets distributed to 20% of your followers and to a portion of people who are not your followers. But those who are interested align with your content. Then the algorithm measures your content by two things. Watch time and engagement. And the platform cares more about watch time. Because then longer someone spends on their platform, the more they get paid from ads. So if a person spends time watching your content, it gets pushed to more people with similar interests. Otherwise, if the content doesn't grab the viewer's attention, it gets no boost. Also, if a person shares, comments, likes, or saves their published content, the algorithm pushes your content to more viewers, resulting in more reach and engagement from a broader audience. And the biggest check out to win this game is to follow for more value.
