The influence of Gransnet Daily

Congratulations EP ?
It’s how advertising works

And you’ve started a thread, linking to your own thread! That’s a first!

So, is this a thread about a thread?

Perhaps I could start a thread about this thread?
ATAATAAT?

No, it is a thread about the effect of a thread being given headline treatment in Gransnet daily.

So if

www.gransnet.com/forums/chat/1301063-Would-you-like-to-join-my-merry-band

gets headline treatment one day maybe a recording might get made and get onto YouTube.

Maybe it might get sponsored.

EP I think that you are wildly exaggerating ‘the influence of GN daily’.

ATAATAAT?

Yes you could.

What does ATAATAAT mean please?

A thread about a thread about a thread
The management aren’t keen on threads about threads

Ah, thank you.

This present thread is not itself a thread about a thread, it is about Gransnet Daily.

As far as I am aware it is perfectly fine to include a link to another thread where that link is relevant to the topic of the thread.

I’m sure that it’s okay

Goodness, this is complete gobbledygook to me.

EP. By Gransnet Daily, do you mean the 5 titles listed under Trending or is it the newsletter? I’ve never bothered with the latter. Thanks.

Nor have I muse

Nor me.
Is the idea to entice people in? A sort of 'taster'?
Surely, if you are interested enough to follow regularly, you don't need anyone's recommendations? You just pick what you you fancy from the active/last hour/last day threads...

The newsletter that arrives by email each day about mid-morning if one has requested receiving it.

What's Gransnet Daily?

I never look at the emails

What happened today with the thread quoted and what happened some days ago with another thread seems to indicate that being listed in title position in Gransnet Daily has a substantial effect on the number of posts being made to a thread, increasing it greatly.

Though both were on a Sunday morning, so it cannot be assumed that it is not a Sunday effect to some extent.

I’ve noticed the ‘Gransnet Daily phenomenon’ too.
It can often be annoying because posters don’t read the full thread, just the opening post, and then the replies can become very repetitive and often irrelevant.
Especially if the op is asking for advice for example, the problem could have been done and dusted days previously.

EP, that’s why they do it. As I’ve said upthread- GN Daily is an advert. It’s there to get clicks. If it didn’t, they wouldn’t do it!

To prove or disprove your theory, EP, surely you need to know how many people are reading Gransnet Daily and responding to it/being influenced by it?

I would suggest not that many.

You'll all be pleased to know I ended up posting here because of the gransnet newsletter email

Are you a disrupter?
