Ask How does someone figure out what an algorithm is actually rewarding at any given time?

Figuring out what an algorithm rewards is not easy because platforms rarely explain their rules, and those rules keep changing. Most people study patterns, watching which posts get more views, comments, or shares, then trying to repeat what worked. Engagement speed, watch time, and how long people stay on a post are strong signals platforms pay attention to. Nothing stays fixed for long, so this guessing never ends. What signals do you think matter most?
