Myth: Ask For Comments To Boost Reach

Myth: Ask For Comments To Boost Reach
"Comment below to trigger the algorithm" assumes raw comment count is the input. The correction: platforms now weight comment quality and reply depth, and flag obvious bait. Empty "yes/no" comments can dampen distribution. Use the conversation-trigger SOP.
1. Replace "comment below" with a genuine open loop (a missing detail people fill in).
2. Plant one mildly debatable line that earns real disagreement.
3. Reply to the first 10 comments within 30 minutes to deepen threads.
4. Measure reply-per-comment ratio, not comment count.
A hundred "first" comments signal bait. Ten threaded arguments signal value. Engineer the disagreement, not the demand.
Run it weekly.
