Unpopular Opinion.

The QRT feature is actually good cause it makes ya'll actually interact instead of just hitting RT and moving on.

I know small accounts think RT are lifeblood, and I get it. But wait till you have hundreds of RT's and not ONE clickthrough.
I just don't know how else to stress how wild the Twitter algorithm is.

Please don't shoot yourself in the foot by lamenting about the temporary changes.

I'm telling you, lean into it. Try and get more QRT's. And yes it's ok if someone just goes, "THIS!".
Trust me, if RT's actually were a reflection of engagement I wouldn't be spamming Twitter 3 times a day with Swordsfall links.

I just want smaller accounts to know that if you see a ton of Likes/RT's on a bigger account that doesn't always mean much.
This seems like solid engagement, right?

Not a simple sale.
This only translated to about 15 clickthroughs to the website.
So I don't wanna burst any bubbles, but I see some posts that make me think people think things magically change when you hit a threshold of Likes/RT's.

It really doesn't.

This art piece did well.

Didn't translate to any sales.
In fact, the posts that actually sell my products?

The posts where I go, "Buy this!".

Not Art Drops, or anything else of the sort has done as well as staring at the camera basically and saying gimme your money, here's some stuff.
I just want folks to know what to expect. You have to focus not so much on blind engagement/RT's but on people who will actually FOLLOW through.

They'll click the links, by the art prints, etc.

That's much harder to find, and it won't be connected to RT's or QRT's.
