Also it seems like the X algorithm is smarter than FB/instagram because it shows me similar art to what I post and keeps the correct vibe. Insta/FB show me random crap I couldn’t care less about. You post the same image? And then you're happy you get more engagement from x? I don't get your experiment... You want lots of engagement when you post boring content repeatedly?

Same image on both sites, not same image over and over.

i don't even understand how they came up with that interpretation. English is weird, but not that weird.

"each night, i choose one image, and upload it to both x and insta" i guess would be less ambiguous?
