Tests across 200 unique IPs clocked 98 % win when the code fill stayed below 30 %; switch to a short-URL service if the uri exceeds 180 characters.

Examples:

Draft 2 posters tonight, clubs explode. Mix five songs this week, clubs call. Paint one mural weekend, whole block stares. Write three slogans today, sales spike. Snap 60 shots at golden hour, likes detonate.
