I'm assuming it might help a little bit, but wondered if any of you have tested it and whether it can make a big difference?

As I'm seeing some people ask silly questions, like, "Has anybody had the same phone number for more than 10 years" and then whenever somebody replies, the tweet author also replies often with an emoji or a random reply.

One would assume so as it's making the conversation/replies increase.

Usually, on most social networks, interactions and retention make your content more visible.

That's why many users also buy interactions, so possibly, the behavior you describe could be to gain views.
 
It does, for most parts. Usually a few emojis wouldn't do it but it's hard to say exactly what is considered a reply of value to the eyes of the algo.

Maybe replies to replies that also get likes perhaps. Guesswork of course, but it seems to me like common sense that if things get a reaction it's good for Twitter as more people are engaged on that tweet and so it must be more worthwhile showing it more on the platform.
 
It could work for sure, depends on the comments, product you're promoting etc

Oh likes definitely factor in there. It's tricky when conducting tests like these because no matter how well you game the system, there are times when impressions are going to be lower just because of how the algorithm sways from time to time. Unless you've established solid parameters, you might risk tainting your tests with insubstantial data.
But yeah, if it gets a lot of likes or replies, it's gonna get a push from the platform that "hey, it's worth seeing so come look at it" simplistically speaking.
 
Yes, providing replies can increase engagement, which can increase reach and impressions. The tweet author's constant interaction with followers can increase the tweet's visibility by generating more conversations and replies. Such interactions can help Twitter's algorithm deliver content to more people. However, providing meaningful and contextually relevant responses, rather than just random replies, leads to more sustained engagement.
 
It works but words comment is better than using emoji to reply.
 
Engagement farming can boost visibility a bit, but it's a shallow tactic. What are you *actually* trying to promote, and is there a less spammy way to get eyes on it?
