Experiment Reveals Threads App Susceptible to Rage Bait Engagement
3 months ago
Threads, Instagram's social app, is full of engagement bait, prioritizing comments over reposts or likes. Katie Notopoulos tested this by posting rage bait topics, which garnered significant engagement. Rage baiting can flood feeds and annoy users. Meta claims replies are just one factor in their algorithm. Engagement bait works well on Threads due to its user base's inexperience with such tactics. Threads is still evolving, and engagement bait may not dominate forever.
