Platform algorithm key points

  • Retention beats vanity metrics. Watch time, replies, and saves usually outweigh raw posting volume.
  • Format fit matters. Reels, carousels, long-form, and Shorts each train a different recommendation loop.
  • Pick one or two homes. Depth on your primary platforms beats a thin presence everywhere.
  • Measure weekly. Turn platform signals into a checklist instead of relying on folklore.
