Hypothetical solution: Wrap your serious posts in vapid trimmings.

That could be fun...

I have actually started doing this. I write a text post, but then include a topical, memey, feed friendly image with it. Engagement is much higher.

  • I'm seeing this with blog posts, too. Where a serious topic is discussed, but it's illustrated with appropriately-captioned meme images. I wonder if they do it to please today's meme-craving reader, or just to avoid overly long sections of text without any breaks (what Germans lovingly call "Bleiwüste", i.e. "lead desert").
