Monetization Coach@monetization_x
If you want good reach, one of the worst things you can do is follow more people than follow you.
When someone comes to me concerned about their reach, this is the first thing I check.
Oftentimes, they follow way too many people.
A high following-to-followers ratio is usually a clear sign of platform manipulation (indiscriminate following).
As I watch trends in the X monetization programs, I'm quite certain they now target monetized creators who follow too many.
If your only way to get followers is through platform manipulation, maybe consider whether you really are a content creator.
Create a brand people want to follow, whether or not you follow them.
