  • The Data: Users who posted 1-2 times per day saw a 300% drop in engagement compared to users who posted 4-5 times per week. The algorithm began suppressing "low-effort frequency" to reward "high-effort utility."
  • The Rule: One high-quality, data-backed piece of content per weekday. Zero memes. Zero political rants. Zero "mood posts."
  • Red Flag: They are all about your vacation, your pet, or a viral trend.
  • Green Flag: They are tutorials, industry analysis, or case studies.

List 3 "invisible" bottlenecks (e.g., lack of a portfolio, poor networking, outdated LinkedIn). Provide one "micro-action" for each to start the movement.
