Another channel publishes more than the thing you chose it for. Sponsored posts, housekeeping announcements, giveaways, «we hit five thousand» — all of it looks pointless in your channel.
What to cut almost always
- Advertising. You republish, for free, an integration somebody paid the source for — and pass it to your reader as your own recommendation.
- Housekeeping. «Leave a reaction», «write in the comments», «we are back» — that is about their channel, not yours.
- Three-word replies. Without their context, they look accidental in your feed.
- Posts linking to their own channel — covered separately.
How to filter
By marker words: «ad», «sponsored», «partner», «giveaway». The list is short and grows as things slip through. Precision matters more than coverage here: too broad a filter removes what you wanted and you will not notice quickly.
A filter by attachment type helps as much: polls and round videos are usually better skipped — what copies and what does not.
Duplicates between sources
With several sources, the same story arrives from each. Removing repeats by text similarity saves the feed more than any other filter.
Checking the filters
Watch what reaches the channel every day for the first week. A filter set once and forgotten lets half the noise through a month later: sources change their wording.
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.
