The Facebook engagement debate rumbles on.

It can seem that way.
What he’s talking about here, is if he posts something about marketing…
Or money…
His content receives almost zero engagement.
But, if he posts about something stupid…
Like, as he puts it, “a fart”…
Then the post blows up.
So, what’s going on here?
Here’s my take:
Despite the chatterings from all the self-proclaimed social media “experts” on this platform…
Nobody really knows how the algorithm, which decides what posts to show to whom, works.
Therefore, one of two things are happening.
Either:
Posts with certain keywords are being penalised…
And are not being put in front of people who are scrolling the newsfeed.
Or:
Which I personally believe is more likely…
Is the post is being seen just fine.
Your friends just aren’t engaging with it.
People like what they like.
Stuff which is easy to consume and doesn’t require a lot of:
a) Reading
b) Thinking
c) Writing
So, a fluffy “Happy Wednesday” post will get engagement numbers into the hundreds…
Whereas a post like this will go comparatively unnoticed in terms of likes and comments.
I’m okay with that.
And so should you…
