Every platform tells you exactly how it decides what to push - if you know where to look.

Crack the Algorithms is the playbook independent artists have been missing: a no-folklore breakdown of how Instagram, TikTok, Facebook, and Twitch actually rank your music, built entirely from the platforms' own statements, large-sample creator data, and clearly labeled field reports. No guru math. No invented thresholds. Every claim in this book is tagged - Confirmed, Data, or Reported - so you always know what's fact and what's folklore.

Inside:

• The One Law every platform converged on in 2025-26 - and why it decides your reach before any hack matters
• Instagram: watch time, likes, and sends - what actually moves a Reel, and how the audition model promotes unknowns
• TikTok: why every video is a fresh audition, and the eligibility rules that silently bury reused files
• Facebook: the originality regime, and the Profile-vs-Page decision that splits your signals
• Twitch: discovery is structural, not algorithmic - browse rank, raids, and Featured Clips
• Simulcasting to all five platforms: what's legal, what it costs you, and the fine print nobody reads
• Engagement pods - the honest truth about what they can and can't do
• The myths chapter: shadowbans, hashtags, perfect posting times, and other ghosts
• The Flywheel: one cross-platform operating system, plus a 30-day action plan to run it

Written by Alexander Sagardia of United Kings Inc - a working label that streams live twice a day and runs this exact system. If you make music and post it, this is the manual the platforms never handed you.
