CASE: a $8 checkmark on a reply-only account

CASE: a $8 checkmark on a reply-only account
An account that never posts originals — only replies under big accounts — logged its numbers before and after subscribing.
— Pre-verification: replies surfaced top-of-thread maybe 1 in 12 times.
— Post-verification: roughly 1 in 4, and follower growth went from ~30/week to ~210/week over a month.
Label: Confirmed mechanic, Rumored magnitude — X documents blue-check reply prioritization; the exact multiplier is this account's own.
What it means for your reach: reply-guy strategy is dramatically cheaper to scale once verified, because the prioritization compounds with every parent account's audience. Hits unverified reply-farmers hardest.
