LET’S TALK ABOUT GROWTH WITH REPLIES
Everyone’s busy yelling into the void with more posts.
Meanwhile, the algorithm’s favorite playground?
Comments.
Conversations.
Your replies can outperform your posts and drive people to your profile if you know how to utilize your replies as a funnel.
Let’s talk about the easiest way to grow (and trigger the algo) without burning out 👇
Quick Detour for my sponsors today: WHISPER FLOW
Check out what they are offering for my readers:
Better prompts. Better AI output.
AI gets smarter when your input is complete. Wispr Flow helps you think out loud and capture full context by voice, then turns that speech into a clean, structured prompt you can paste into ChatGPT, Claude, or any assistant. No more chopping up thoughts into typed paragraphs. Preserve constraints, examples, edge cases, and tone by speaking them once. The result is faster iteration, more precise outputs, and less time re-prompting. Try Wispr Flow for AI or see a 30-second demo.

WHAT THE ALGO PRIORITIZES
Every time you leave a comment, you’re stepping into someone else’s spotlight.
That means:
→ New eyeballs on your profile
→ Fresh engagement from accounts outside your circle
→ Signals to the algo that you’re part of valuable conversations
And when your comment performs well (likes, bookmarks, replies),
it boosts your “replier quality score.”
That metric quietly decides how often you land on the For You feed.
WHY “COMMENT SURF”?
✦ It ‘borrows’ reach from bigger accounts
✦ It makes your profile seem active and conversational
✦ It builds relationships in public
✦ It drives profile clicks (a major growth signal most ignore)
If your profile is primed for follower conversion, every profile click will be a new follower.

HOW TO COMMENT SURF
1. Locate the giants
Find accounts with 500K–1M+ followers in your niche or (in general).
These creators pull in hundreds of comments every time they post. That’s your visibility playground.
Follow this X list → giants
2. Surf their comment sections
Scroll through the replies on their posts.
Instead of replying to the creator, reply to the commenters who stand out to you.
→ Look for people dropping thoughtful takes or humor that resonates with you.
→ Engage with them directly (whether in that comment or on their posts).
Treat it like mini networking in public.
Every time you reply meaningfully to someone in those posts,
you’re signaling to the algorithm:
“Hey, we’re part of the same ‘niche’.. Show my posts to them too.”
3. Build two-way visibility
Click through to the profiles of people you vibe with.
Comment on their posts, too.
Now you’ve connected the dots:
The algo sees you engaging across shared spaces.
It learns that your audiences overlap.
It starts showing your posts to their followers too (not just them).
That’s how you quietly plant yourself inside bigger ecosystems without begging for attention.

3rd sponsor of the day: Check out what MASTERWORKS is offering for you guys:
Someone just spent $236,000,000 on a painting. Here’s why it matters for your wallet.
The WSJ just reported the highest price ever paid for modern art at auction.
While equities, gold, bitcoin hover near highs, the art market is showing signs of early recovery after one of the longest downturns since the 1990s.
Here’s where it gets interesting→
Each investing environment is unique, but after the dot com crash, contemporary and post-war art grew ~24% a year for a decade, and after 2008, it grew ~11% annually for 12 years.*
Overall, the segment has outpaced the S&P by 15 percent with near-zero correlation from 1995 to 2025.
Now, Masterworks lets you invest in shares of artworks featuring legends like Banksy, Basquiat, and Picasso. Since 2019, investors have deployed $1.25 billion across 500+ artworks.
Masterworks has sold 25 works with net annualized returns like 14.6%, 17.6%, and 17.8%.
Shares can sell quickly, but my subscribers skip the waitlist:
