Pods

Engagement pods, explained

A pod is a group of creators who engage with each other's posts. Most run in a chat, most fail on shape rather than detection, and most quietly ask you to engage with people who were never your audience. This is every kind of pod, what each one actually does, and what a matched, capped version changes.
