Rewrite an engagement bait post honestly
Rewrites a post built on engagement bait into an honest one of at most 120 words that earns replies with a real question or insight.
Task:
Rewrite the post below so that it no longer relies on engagement bait, and so that it earns replies with a real point or question.
Context:
I post on [platform] for [audience]. My post is about [topic]. What I actually know or think about it is [your real point of view or experience].
Rules:
- Find and name the bait in the draft first. Typical bait is a fake cliffhanger, a demand to like, share or comment to get something, a false claim of urgency, a vague "you won't believe" line, and a loaded question made only to start fights.
- Keep the topic and every true fact from my draft. Add no new facts, numbers or claims.
- Base the new post on my real point of view above. If it is missing or too thin, ask me one question before rewriting.
- End with one honest question that I would want answered, and not a command to engage.
- Write at most 120 words, with no emojis and no more than one hashtag.
Result:
First the list of bait you found, in at most five bullets. Then two versions of the rewritten post, one calm and one more direct. Then one sentence on what I may lose in reach and why that is a fair trade.
