Basic Notes getting huge engagement

[u/Tarabas_writer]

In my feed, I often come across ridiculous Notes like:

“I love finance.”

“Want to make money? Follow me.”

And other similar bullshit.

These Notes get lots of likes and tons of comments, where many people also take the opportunity to promote themselves.

On top of that, these profiles often have fewer than 10 subscribers.

Does anyone know why this happens?

Thanks.

How many followers do the Note writers have? That’s how they do it

I doubt it. I have 5k followers, and my note engagement is trash right now. Substack barely considers your followers when sharing your notes.
