Do early likes/comments actually affect reach that much?
I’ve been managing a small creator page and noticed posts with early engagement (likes/comments within the first hour) tend to perform better overall.
Tested something recently where I used a service to add a few likes and comments right after posting. Nothing crazy, just enough to make the post feel active.
It didn’t blow up or anything, but the reach was slightly better compared to posts with zero early interaction.
Now I’m wondering if this is something others are quietly doing too? And if yes, how do you keep it looking natural and not spammy?
