I checked how far my replies actually travel on X. It's not about my follower count.

Ten replies in on X, still at 10 followers, so I stopped guessing and pulled the actual numbers.

The spread on real replies I posted: one got 2 views under a 1,100 view post. Another got 2 views under a 5,842 view post. One got 1,204 views, replying under a post at 1.9 million views.

Every one of them landed at roughly 0.03% to 0.17% of the parent post's reach, no matter what I wrote or when I posted it. My own follower count never showed up as a variable at all.

The harder part: even the 1,204 view reply got zero likes and zero replies back. So reach was never the actual bottleneck, whatever I said in the reply was.

Anyone else tracked this on their own account, or does it scale this cleanly only for accounts my size?
