What people said about Layers on X
If you post slideshows on TikTok, stop picking a slide count for algorithm reasons. Across 9,925 creators, 1-2 slides and 11+ slides perform within a point of each other. Use exactly as many slides as the idea needs. That's the whole rule. https://x.com/layers/status/2090082023180468302

If you post on TikTok, one post in 100 pays for everything. For the typical creator, the top 1% of their posts earn nearly half of every view their account will ever get. Your job is to buy more tickets and make each one better.

If you post on TikTok and something takes off, you don't have to scramble to post again within hours. Two hours later or four days later, the follow-up performs about the same. What pays is the sequel: same topic, same length beats changing the subject by about 9 places out of 100.
