Viral trends, creator hacks, zero fluff.

Pinned comments, reply-video chains, and captions that are wrong on purpose — the smartest creators right now aren't optimizing their videos, they're optimizing their comment sections. We broke down the accounts doing it and whether the algorithm actually pays out for reply velocity.
