How do you get people to engage with your posts on /lit/. I rarely get replies even if I write long posts and threads I respond to usually die after me.

if you want to talk about non-epic poetry, genre fiction, plays outside of Shakespeare, any literature that's not from Europe, North America, or South America, short stories outside of Borges, contemporary literature that isn't a 1000 page postmodern meme book, then you're shit out of luck

You have to provoke.

>> No.12979441

treat /lit/ like is academia. say the most absurd contrarian thing imaginable or if you have nothing of value to say, launch a personal attack upon them in an effort to provoke a reply.

You don‘t have to brazen or uncultured, just not in line with prevailing opinions.

Baiting, you need to make someone feel like he should correct you. You want to make the other poster feel smart or better than you, though insults often work as well. Quality posts will just make people ignore you because they have nothing to add to them.

Try saying the opposite of what you mean.

One thing I like to do is to post a quote I want to discuss along with a picture of John Green, regardless of whether he is the subject or not, and ask "what did he mean by this?" Anons get triggered by the pic of John green and reply aggressively.

Add “I hate [black people/Jews/gays/Muslims/communists] btw” at the end of each post
At the very least you’ll get the script responding “based and redpilled”
