>That tells you that's not what it's for. It would be like posting your resume on FB and LinkedIn and then pointing out that FB led to fewer job offers than LinkedIn. Different platforms, different purposes.

Only insofar as the purpose of the platform is to generate ad revenue. The contents of the posts were semantically identical and they were made to the same platform; your example involves the same post to two different platforms.

Well, yeah. I'm not surprised that they don't promote posts containing links to their competitors.

I wonder what the outcome would have been if you had instead linked to Instagram or Threads? I would guess those have a smaller penalty.
