1. Why Update This Breakdown?
Main 24’s election-fueled spike is behind us; Main 25 shows how the meta normalizes when politics cools and the market heats up:
- Market talk + memecoins reclaimed the throne — 50% + of all tweets.
- We captured 5,250 tweets, 102.9M views, and 1.52M engagements in four days.
- Two winning play-styles emerged: high-volume generalists vs laser-focused analysts.
For solopreneurs, this is a real-time case study in audience segmentation, narrative timing, and data-driven content pivots.

2. Fast Stats (Main 25)
| Metric | Main 25 | Δ vs Main 24 |
|---|---|---|
| Tweets | 5,250 | ▼ 6.5% |
| Views | 102.9M | ▼ 23% |
| Engagements | 1.52M | ▼ 42.8% |
| Avg Eng Rate | 1.48% | ▼ 0.51pp |
Interpretation: post-election fatigue cut raw reach, yet engagement per view held steady—evidence the core community stayed locked-in.
3. Content Mix Shift
| Category | Share % | Eng Rate | Notable Δ |
|---|---|---|---|
| Market Analysis | 36.7% | 1.81% | +16.7% tweets |
| Community | 29.0% | 1.79% | – |
| Cryptocurrencies | 14.1% | 2.05% | +31% tweets |
| Memes | 8.5% | 2.44% | still #1 for ER |
| Politics | 3.8% | 0.92% | ▼ 12pp share |
Major CEX listings turbo-charged $DOGE, $SOL, and fresh memecoins such as $PNUT.
4. Two Paths to the Podium
| Rank | Hero | Tweets | Top Categories | Strategy Snapshot |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Hero A | 112 | 42% Community · 30% Market | High-volume, broad mix keeps point flow steady. |
| 2 | Hero B | 58 | 40% Market · 31% Crypto | Low-volume sniper: deep analysis = outsized points. |
Take-away for players: both “spray-and-pray diversity” and “quality-over-quantity focus” can win—if they align with the week’s dominant narrative.
5. LYH Practical Moves (60-minute sprint)
| Pathway | Action |
|---|---|
| Demystify AI | Feed 100 Hero tweets into GPT-4o Projects; ask for a 3-sentence “tone + topic” profile. |
| Boost Productivity | Set a Zapier rule to ping when Market-Analysis share of any Hero’s feed > 35%. |
| Build Tech Stack | Clone our DuckDB schema; schedule a daily scrape to keep a local “Hero watch-list”. |
| Grow with AI | Turn these dashboards into a Monday “Meta-Shift Brief” for your newsletter. |
6. Closing Thought
Main 25 proves meta cycles reset fast: politics out, charts in. The founder who measures these pivots—not just eyeballs them—earns consistent edge, whether you’re drafting a Hero deck or crafting tomorrow’s content calendar.
