A channel made entirely of other people's posts lasts until a subscriber finds the original. After that they go there: same thing, sooner.
What makes it yours
- Selection. If you take not everything but by one rule — only teardowns, only one niche, only posts with numbers — the selection itself becomes the value.
- Order. Material arranged by time and theme reads differently from a stream.
- A line of your own. One sentence before someone else's post — «this matters, here is why» — turns a mirror into an editorial desk.
- Your own posts. One or two a week: something no source has.
The proportion
What works is usually closer to a third of your own than a tenth. Less and the channel reads as an aggregator; more and the automation loses its point. The exact figure depends on the topic: less in news, considerably more in analysis.
How it looks in practice
The cloner covers weekdays, you write one piece a week. Your own post goes into the queue in advance — autoposting — and goes out at a good time rather than whenever you finished it.
The test
A simple question: if a subscriber found every one of your sources, would they still have a reason to read you? If the answer is no, the channel rests on the reader being lazy. That does not last.
How Neurogram does this
Everything above is manual work that runs into the number of hours in a day. Neurogram does it on your own accounts and without you: it collects channels and audiences, writes comments and replies with a language model, and keeps limits and quiet hours so the accounts survive.
