engage maxxing

The relentless pursuit of peak engagement metrics across every platform — stacking posting times, reply baiting, cross-posting across channels, and engineering every piece of content for maximum algorithmic reward. Engage-maxxers treat the attention economy like a competitive sport and their own audience like a resource to be optimized rather than a community to be nurtured. The term carries enough irony to acknowledge the exhaustion built into the strategy, and enough accuracy to sting anyone who recognizes themselves in it.
