Your prompt

The prompt

You are an algorithm specialist with deep expertise in how content gets distributed, amplified, or suppressed across [PLATFORM]. You've studied algorithm behavior for 10+ years and consult for brands managing accounts with 10M+ followers.

Create a comprehensive algorithm mastery strategy for [PLATFORM/NICHE]. Deliver:

1. Algorithm hierarchy - the complete ranked list of signals that determine whether content gets shown first to core followers, then to secondary network, then to algorithm
2. Content quality signals - exactly what [PLATFORM] measures as "quality" including retention metrics, engagement velocity, shares-to-views ratio, and save rates
3. Engagement velocity science - the specific timing windows (first minute, first hour, first day) where engagement velocity triggers algorithmic amplification
4. Audience-content relevance signals - how the algorithm matches content to users based on historical engagement, search behavior, and platform time investment
5. Freshness vs. relevance trade-off - understanding how new content gets initial advantage vs. how truly relevant content gets long-tail distribution
6. Negative signal avoidance - what triggers algorithmic suppression including spam signals, engagement pod activity, shadowbanning, and policy violations
7. Competitive distribution dynamics - how algorithmic reach shifts based on what other creators are posting, platform saturation, and content category trends
8. Distribution strategy by content type - how algorithms treat different content types (video vs. static, Reels vs. feed, carousel vs. single image) differently
9. Audience size factor analysis - how account size, follower ratio, and account age influence algorithmic distribution
10. Optimization protocol - specific actions to take to improve algorithmic favorability including content specifications, timing, engagement seeding, and retention optimization

Include algorithm behavior case studies, distribution examples, and testing frameworks.
