3 WAYS TO FIGHT THE BOTS

Don’t get scammed Grandma, and watch out for those BOTS. Here are 3 TANGIBLE #socialmediahygiene TIPS to help you fight the BOTS.

👀Monitor Comments:

“Send this to me! Send this to me!”. After you post, make sure to circle back and read the comments. Check out the profiles of those leaving them. Bots often automatically comment when posts include certain locations or hashtags.

🛑Use the Block Button:

A comment might look good at first, but it can act as a magnet for other bots once it starts getting likes or replies. Don’t hesitate to use the BLOCK button — it cuts communication and flags the account for the algorithm. This also applies to flirty new followers and promo pages.

📃 Archive Posts:

New bots love content, no matter the age. Archive posts that are dated or no longer useful. I recommend doing this every six months — it not only helps reduce bot activity but also ensures your followers see your most relevant content first
