The X (Twitter) carousel playbook
On X, a 4-image post shows a tappable grid, and an image thread turns each slide into its own tweet — both formats massively outperform link posts, which X down-ranks. Visual threads are the standard way big accounts deliver value without sending users off-platform.
Algorithm note — X deprioritizes external links; native images keep users on-platform and earn full reach. Bookmarks on visual threads are a top signal.
