    It feels like all the people clamoring to get onto threads are like wanabe influencers n stuff.

    I have very little interest in becoming an influencer but I was definitely hoping I could game the system a little to get more engagement. It was just “good” timing that threads dropped because I have a couple of things I’m trying to promote right now.

    I put good in quotes because after 2 days I’ve been advertised to a ton but I don’t think any of my comments have made it outside my circle.

    I guess I’m trying to say that I think a lot of people want something in between being an influencer and being a product. I don’t need to be the next Louis Rossmann but I would really appreciate it if the flyers I post for the grassroots House music parties I throw got more than 10 “impressions”. Instead it feels like the only time Meta promotes my posts is if Meta can get a couple clicks out of a political post by showing it to my republican relatives.
