Hosts Daphne and Fred share their spirited analysis of the article "Why Social Media Engagement Trumps Follower Count" from the Curt Robbins & Associates Technical Writing Agency that was published on October 7, 2024. An excerpt from the article: "I remember when I first got into social media. I was obsessed with the growth of my follower base. Seeing that number increase was like a Pavlovian jolt of dopamine to my brain. When I saw the number go up, I muttered 'followers' like Homer Simpson says 'beer' at a baseball game and went on with my day." Curt Robbins & Associates is currently taking on new clients.
