  • The algorithm rewards users for staying on longer content (such as long articles, videos) because this maximizes “no regrets time.” AI in-depth sharing (such as tool analysis, seminar summary) is suitable for Articles and can naturally extend reading time. Compared with short posts or threads, early tests show that views can be increased by 3-5 times (some cases reach 10x, but this is not common). Example: From search, creators report that Articles often have 100k-1M+ views, while regular posts only have a few thousand views. Everyone, get started!
