Engagement Farming
Avoid Twitter

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 Engagement Economy

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.

Ratio Bait

Posts with deliberately bad takes exist solely to generate outraged quote tweets and replies—turning your reaction into their engagement.

Thread Hooks

"Let that sink in," "A thread 🧵," and similar phrases signal content optimized for sharing, not substance.

Manufactured Controversy

"Unpopular opinion:" followed by either an extremely popular opinion or intentionally inflammatory take—both are engagement traps.

Don't Feed the Algorithm

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.

Resist the Bait

When you see the rage-bait flag, you're mentally prepared not to engage—denying engagement farmers your reaction.

Spot Fake Threads

Many "viral threads" are recycled content or AI-generated. FeedFirewall helps you identify the genuine insights.

Enjoy Twitter Again

With engagement farming flagged, you can find genuine conversations, breaking news, and content worth your time.
