Question Engagement farming

[The-Hive]

As the title states what are insights on engagement farming..

This practice involves using manipulative tactics to artificially boost likes, comments, and shares. However, engagement farming is often misleading and can undermine trust”

could this be used as a form off marketing sales/advertising strategy

i think it will b e good to use it nowdays temporary for a while to spread the 'awareness'about idea like ie. BB or Bazaar. posted exactly about that on polish section, but unfortunate in polish...

Completely different to that this is to trick the user into clicking on something they’re like that directs them to the forum or the marketplace manipulation bit like false advertising.. less obvious to public authorities

aww now got You lad. one of stencils hit it with just simple word 'PLEASURE' subtle touching curiosity when spotted i guess... and now i get what You mean by directing when making photo.

Should work if planned out properly

 

[pshcrmth]

thought about QR code with link from right side or something in that way, as maybe good idea. but dunno how it will works with painting it from technical side...

Could use a thumbnail at the start off a video to catch the eye so they click. Couple ways it’s what works best

free stuff
Like if your happy
Click for a smile
Free to good home
Test your WI-FI

random stuff like that

 

[pshcrmth]

click-bait phrases, that above create strong 'needs' in subconscious
curiousity, greed, and lots vices are definitely good gateways in all that jedi mind tricks

guessing now, if i use as profile photo pic of some cute lassie, and ad some fake bio, banner and few feeds, reply, posts... and i bet i will get more random DMs, likes, and followers compare to how its now... UwU!

Not too many years ago, everytime you tried to watch some porn, you eould have to sit through an Ashley Madison commercial, or adult friend finder. An investigation by sme entity found there wasn't a single woman on those sites, they harvested the profiles from dating sites and had employees whos only job it was, to harvest and create fake profiles and catfish. AAdult friend finder is similar. Get that premium account so you can message those hoes back! It's Skip the Games only for me. If you don't know what that is, I ain't telling you, but you can get a real date on there

No different to YouTube you have to watch Two adverts before you even reach the video! then they tell you to buy a membership to skip ads they make absolute millions on 30 second ads

 

[pshcrmth]

Very true, and thats why war with adblockers goes full on now :/

Albert Lasker is considered a pioneer of modern advertising..

Ethan Zuckerman is known for his accidental creation of the pop-up ad, which significantly impacted the internet landscape

it’s amazing that the majority things invented or created are accident

Lik

I think it is a valuable tool

 

[miner21]

I think of likes and positive comments similar to product reviews. I'm more likely to buy a product with many likes and positive comments.

It is a valuable tool.

 

[pshcrmth]

Man You confused me big time with that 'Lik' Was wondering how such a statement about that.

sorry lack of sleep... :>

 

[pshcrmth]

btw. just spotted it now, dunno it it was all the time and i didn't sse or that option was added recently. Mean UPVOTE/DOWNVOTE option on each post...

There’s also “soft” engagement farming, asking fake open-ended questions, using trending sounds with no relevance, or staging fake controversy. It works because it doesn’t feel manipulative at first. So yes, it can be a strategy… but walk that line carefully or people will call it out.
