Vent: a mod removed my viral grift breakdown and told me my take was half-baked
Last month I wrote a long breakdown about a no-name seller who blew up overnight because people reposted one clip from Kansas City over and over, and a mod pulled it in about 2 hours with a note that said "you keep saying it went viral, but you never say which feed did the pushing." I was annoyed at first. But I went back and looked at my numbers and they were soft: I had one screenshot and a guess about the share rate, nothing on how the video got fed to new viewers after the first 10k views. So I reworked my approach and now I pull the actual repeat view and share counts before I type a single word, and I test a clip on a fresh account to see where it shows up first. My last breakdown on a dance trend got 40 comments instead of 3 because I showed the path instead of just yelling that the algorithm did it. If you have been burned for the same sloppy habit, what feeds are you actually tracking right now?
