Refills0 — the delete-and-repost cycle is, apparently, the engagement problem, not the solution
Side effects May include the specific dread of a post that has landed at 47 likes rather than the hoped-for 94, the phantom urge to 'just repost it with a better caption,' and — critically — the observation that the delete-and-repost pattern had been, apparently, training the algorithm to deprioritize patient's content.
