Episode notes
Older Accounts Often Lose Algorithmic Advantages
- Do consider account age as a factor because newer accounts often get algorithmic preference.
- If your account was created in 2021 or earlier, it's more likely to benefit from a fresh start in 2026.
Fix Consistency Before You Restart
- Do check posting consistency: post at least five feed posts per week for the last 12 months before restarting.
- If you averaged fewer than five per week in 2025, fix consistency instead of creating a new account.
Batch Create And Upcycle To Maintain Daily Posting
- Do batch-create content and upcycle past posts to solve consistency problems.
- Take 1–2 weeks to batch produce dozens of posts and reupload or recreate previous posts every ~90 days to maintain daily output.
