What to know about Engagement Farming
The practice of looking for more interaction on social media sites is known as “engagement farming.”
By using this technique, users can increase their following, likes, comments, and retweets without necessarily contributing any insightful information. Increasing one’s internet presence is the main objective instead.
Influencers that associate with other content providers in groups frequently employ this strategy.
Members of these communities engage with one another in return by sharing, liking, and commenting on one other’s posts.
Creating the appearance of a highly engaged audience and tricking algorithms to make oneself more visible are the objectives.
