Want to boost engagement on my Twitter medical threads
I'm trying to bring some life to my Twitter account and honestly I get jealous sometimes looking at threads where there's just this huge buzz happening. Someone posts something basic like "what's your favorite book" and suddenly all of Twitter sets up camp under that tweet discussing world literature for hours. Meanwhile I'm posting interesting threads from my profession, I'm a doctor and I share different cases from medical practice, real stories that I think people would find fascinating. But there's no traction whatsoever. I'll get a couple likes and that's it. It's kind of frustrating actually. How can I give my account at least a small push so people actually see my posts?

Man, watching people get hundreds of replies on the most basic questions while your well-thought-out posts sit there collecting dust is soul-crushing. You'd think medical stories would grab attention since everyone loves hearing about wild hospital cases, but Twitter's weird like that. Some accounts blow up posting absolute garbage while genuinely interesting content gets ignored because the platform's obsessed with whoever already has numbers. The whole system runs on momentum, so if you don't have followers to begin with, your posts basically don't exist no matter how good they are.
Twitter's weird because your content can be fire but if nobody's watching then it just sits there. You refresh the app hoping to see notifications and it's the same two likes from yesterday. The problem is people skip over posts that look dead, but your posts look dead because people keep skipping them. Annoying loop that's hard to break out of. For a kickstart, you could try a service where you can get free Twitter comments at https://upvote.club/twitter/comment . Get a few comments going and your thread stops looking abandoned, makes it way easier for random people to add their own take instead of just moving on to the next post.
