Here's what I've learned from consistently posting long form content on NOSTR and trying to use the default Primal Algorithms to my advantage.

1. If you don't get near the top of Primal Trending 1hr, your post will go nowhere.
2. Most people still sort by latest, so the most powerful form of engagement you can get from people is a reNOST
3. Zaps are awesome value for value, but can be gamed and only big zaps seem to boost algorithmic rankings disproportionately.
4. A diverse set of Commenters is OP
5. Likes are a shitcoin (I still love em tho)
