See through the tactics designed to farm your engagement
Twitter/X has perfected the art of engagement farming—posts designed to provoke reactions, start arguments, and generate viral engagement regardless of value. FeedFirewall exposes these tactics.
Twitter's algorithm rewards engagement above all else. This creates powerful incentives for users to post inflammatory, divisive, or provocative content just to game the system.
Posts with deliberately bad takes exist solely to generate outraged quote tweets and replies—turning your reaction into their engagement.
"Let that sink in," "A thread 🧵," and similar phrases signal content optimized for sharing, not substance.
"Unpopular opinion:" followed by either an extremely popular opinion or intentionally inflammatory take—both are engagement traps.
FeedFirewall detects Twitter-specific engagement farming patterns, from ratio bait to thread hooks to manufactured controversy, helping you avoid becoming someone else's engagement metric.
When you see the rage-bait flag, you're mentally prepared not to engage—denying engagement farmers your reaction.
Many "viral threads" are recycled content or AI-generated. FeedFirewall helps you identify the genuine insights.
