War room playbook

What actually moves the algorithm during the 24 hours.

  • Reply to every comment within ~10 minutes — one substantive comment outweighs dozens of votes.
  • Fire outreach wave 2 and 3 exactly on schedule (EU morning, US morning).
  • Post progress updates on X — momentum posts pull in passive followers.
  • Thank every commenter by name — it shows up in their notifications.
  • Never ask for upvotes directly — PH detects and penalizes vote solicitation.
