    Engagement pods are super overrated. People join these little groups to boost each other’s posts, thinking it will trick the algorithm. What actually happens is you get a bunch of meaningless likes or comments from the same handful of people over and over, no real growth, and the second you stop engaging in the pod your numbers drop right back down. Algorithms are smarter than that, and genuine engagement from people who actually care about your content is always better.
