and even when there is no engagement on one's post, silent feedback can also be a feedback that one's not getting it right.

Well, actually it's all going to depend on a lot of different factors. Because I know of a bunch of "misfits" who even, when they are creating content for an universal audience, they do it always trying to keep the smalltalk at a minimum.

What seems to me to be a pretty effective, healthy and formidable strategy if what is sought is to separate the chaff from the wheat in favor of a meaningful engagement and truly valuable feedback from that eventual audience who really caught and understood the message in all its splendor of what you really tried to convey through your content.

And with this "strategy" I do not mean that we are looking for engagement and feedback only from within an echo chamber. On the contrary, what is sought is to expand the resonance box so that it reaches the greatest number of individuals with the true capacity to contribute with something useful from which we can genuinely learn something new and not just rejoice in the potential amount of fake flattery, hipocrisy, nonsense messages and smalltalk that does not lead you or anyone anywhere.

In my opinion, I suspect that this is the best "strategy" and most effective antidote to avoid wasting time consuming junk feedback that is not going to nourish you or anyone else. };)
