A 15-year-old named Alex Landings discovered that 17 creators posting identical content within three minutes tricks algorithms into treating it as breaking news. Alex tested the method 32 times with ghost creators and saw consistent results. Coordinated Discord groups like virality.cc hire young creators to slice clips and post them simultaneously across accounts.
How you can trick the algorithm into making your content viral. So this guy's name is Alex Landings. Okay, so I think this kid's only like 15 years old. So he says, okay, interesting discovery. If 17 creators post identical content within 3 minutes, the algorithm thinks it's quote unquote breaking news. It pushes everything to trending. He tested this 32 times with a few in-house ghost creators. It always works. So manufacturing news greater than reporting news. And so when he says ghost creators, I'm like, what does this guy mean, right? And so he has this thing called virality.cc. That's like a Discord group. There's another Discord group called Clipped.exe or something like that, and then you have WAP. And what's happening is hiring a lot of these kids and they're giving them these long-form pieces of content. They're having them chop them up and post it to different accounts, and some will go viral, some won't. But he's just saying that if everyone's posting the similar account at the same time, it has a much higher shot on goal or a chance to go viral. And we've seen that. I mean, Neil, that's not what you and I do, but you and I have talked to a lot of people that do this, and I think it's worth calling it out. Like, it's not saying that we do it right now. I certainly don't do it right now. I don't think you do it either. But if we did it, we'd probably do something similar to this.
