Stop guessing what X wants.
The answers are in X's own code and rules. X's For You feed code is public, but it is enormous, technical, and constantly changing. This book combines that code with X's rules, enforcement reports, and live-account measurements from the X API, then turns it into plain-English instructions for posting better, reaching more people, and qualifying for Original Content Rewards.
The book is updated on the 25th of every month. If X changed something, the book gets changed too. Updates are free.
Every guess you've made about X has an answer in the open-source code, and in real numbers.
What the feed rewards
The exact weight of a like, a reply, a share, a follow, and a report. Why questions beat statements three to one. Why a "not interested" tap is weighted so heavily against you. Why a reply from somebody you follow back is weighted four times a reply from anyone else.
What can silence you
The visibility rules in the order X runs them. Every label X can put on a post or an account, in X's own words, and what each one does. The spam rules that catch repeated text, machine-sounding text, and posting on a timer. How to read the monthly report X gives you.
How to get paid
The Original Content Rewards Program rule by rule, the legal terms clause by clause, what each account type gets, what counts as an impression and what doesn't, and a plan in phases to reach the threshold and apply.
The answers first. The proof behind them.
Chapter 2 is the card you keep next to the keyboard: what each action weighs next to a like, what to do before you post, the Do list, the Don't list, and what to do after you post. It is the fastest way to change how you post today. The other 33 chapters are everything under it: the code, the rules, every label X can put on you, the program, the numbers, and the plan to get paid.

Before you buy
What do I get?
The book to read online here, in a reader that remembers your page, and an EPUB made for you to keep in Apple Books, Kindle, Kobo, or any reader app. Both are the current drop, and both are replaced when the next one lands.
What is a drop?
The monthly release of the book. On the 25th of each month the book is re-read against X's code and rules, the numbers are re-measured, and the new version drops. You get an email with what changed and a link; the book here is already the new drop. On Apple Books, Apple delivers it to the Books app.
Is there a subscription?
No. One price. Drops are included for twelve months from the day you buy. When they end, you keep the last drop you received, and you can add another twelve months of drops for $19.99 whenever you like. Nothing renews on its own.
Here or Apple Books: which one?
They're separate purchases of the same book. Here, $24.99: the online reader with highlights, notes, and bookmarks, an EPUB in your name, and twelve months of drops. On Apple Books, $31.99: the book in the Books app with Apple's own highlights and notes, and every drop for as long as the book is listed there. An Apple purchase doesn't include an account here, and a purchase here doesn't include the Apple edition.
Why isn't it on Amazon?
Because it drops monthly and Amazon can't deliver that. When a Kindle book is revised, only new buyers get the new version; people who already bought it keep the old one. Here and on Apple Books, every buyer gets every drop.
Where does the information come from?
Four places. X's open-source feed code. X's help center and the program's legal terms. X's monthly Under the Hood enforcement reports. And live accounts run through our own software on the X API: every post published for real, and its impressions, replies, follows, timing, and more read back and measured. The code says what X rewards. The measurements show what it did. That second half is ours, and it is why the book says things nobody can get from the code alone.
Do I need a Premium account?
To read the book, no. To join the Original Content Rewards Program, X requires Premium, Premium+, or Premium Business. The book explains exactly what each account type gets.
Is it technical?
No. It's written for people who have never read a line of code. Every term is defined the first time it's used, and every number says where it came from. 41 chapters across 13 parts, with a glossary and three appendices.
