Honestly, you can usually tell which profiles were written in thirty seconds — it is the single change that made the most difference.

For what it is worth, the profiles that get replies are the specific ones, not the polished ones — that is roughly where I landed after a lot of trial and error.

Comparing your results to anyone else's is a losing game — your mileage may well differ.

Honestly, treating it as a numbers game is the fastest route to burning out — that has been consistent for me across a few different platforms.
