I changed the terminology: spoilers are now called hooks.
decision.ignore_likes = true – I decided to ignore Likes because they are noisy and can be given impulsively.
decision.ignore_follower_count = true – I decided to ignore follower total as it is a lagging metric that can distort content strategy.
metric.bookmark_count_primary = true – Bookmarks are now the primary KPI for post success.
account_growth = ~500 → 19 k followers in < 2 months – After switching to the “current format” on Jul 26, the account grew rapidly.
These decisions reflect my shift toward measuring lasting value (bookmarks) over superficial engagement (likes, follower count), which drove a > 38× follower increase in under two months.
Meta pushes a woke ideology that is hard to resist.
I have been manually curating each reel for the last 6 months.
My curated feed now contains only 3 topics I want to learn about.
I tolerate 2–3 stray posts per week as noise.
I cannot follow friends nor be followed because their algorithm would affect my curated feed.
I noted that all networks have their nuances/purpose/audience/mechanics they are not the same.
I concluded that aggregators dont work.
What aspects of network nuances should I consider when designing a feed?
