She covered up her tattoos and became a successful Pokémon content creator.

Fast food is the great American past time. No cardboard trophy stands a chance.

That’s true lol

I am going to guess a lot of your followers are the looky loo types who follow you to see what you post, rather than interact. Where as people following an account which I assume is dedicated to autism awareness of some sort, are more likely to interact and like the content in an effort to spread the message.

Female vs Male thing could be it, but since neither of you are dressed suggestively or intentionally drawing peoples eyes to parts of the body which garner views I think that can be discounted.
Also consider than the 1997 Pika Trophy is not a hot topic of discussion right now whilst the McDonalds Pokemon cards are one of the biggest topics right now.

It’s actually really tough to analyse and predict how content on social media spreads and sometimes goes viral.

Likes do not determine how well your post does Gary. It’s “Impressions”, that’s what tells you if a post is truly reaching out to the maximum amount of your audience.

Thuan must’ve got a large boost in likes either because you or Aoki posted something that directed traffic her way the day of that post, in combination with the algorithm, probably just expanded the reach of that post.

Normally she is getting 200-300 likes, one post getting 3,500 likes isn’t enough data for us to analyze why exactly that one particular post did well.

She looks uncomfortable
 are you forcing her to cover up her tattoos and make these posts??

Seriously though, the McDonald’s thing is hot right now. That’s probably your answer.

More people know what the McDonald’s card is compared to the trophy.

She’s a woman.

As above - People connect a lot more to Pikachu and McDonalds than Trophy Cards. Also its hard to see the Trophy well on a tiny Instagram photo.

aren’t both accounts run by you @garyis2000 :grin:

no one likes a covered up cert.

Content aside, there are certain elements of the first photograph that make it more algorithm friendly: the plain white background, the centered image, the bright yellow happy meal box being an easily recognizable focus point, the straightforward angle of the face, and the quippy caption serving as a tagline

Nah, she wouldn’t let me lol. I did suggest we switch each other’s cards, with identical descriptions etc, and see what happens.

Then I would undo a couple buttons​:eyes::joy:

Thank you all for the thoughtful posts😁
