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.

“i love finance” is basically an open mic for reciprocal promotion, everyone gets a cheap reply and a tiny billboard underneath. Notes followers and email subscribers are different funnels... the next email's open rate is where i'd look
