How can I make my thread gain more traction?

A lot of the replies are my own. Maybe the topic is too niche or boring for people but there are other 'niche interest' threads which have proportionately more views than mine.


Is my title boring? Is there just not much interest in Talking Heads who are suddenly having a reunion again? I know it is an old, disbanded band, but that doesn't mean people aren't still interested. People here have interest in other musicians who are dead though like Jimi Hendrix and John Lennon. Talking Heads is just as weird of a rabbit hole if you look into it, believe me, especially their lead singer.
Is my writing bad?
Please give me some advice.

..Please give me some advice.

Personally I always keep my posts short, and I never post long videos or shunt people off to read long links, and as a result my posts are straight to the point like sniper fire..
As a great prophet once said-

"This is this"

6k views isn't bad. There are many threads here with much less views and engagement.

Personally i wont bother if the thread itself doesn't seem interesting. But the majority of the boards have been this way for me for several weeks now.

Post whatever you want. As they say you can't please everyone. When you find something that resonates with people they will join in.

I wouldn't worry about views or results but that is just me.

I want more engagement so that more people can help provide resources, knowledge and input.

my advice: change the title back to where you mentioned 'new wave' in it. i think youll get more views. 'byrne' is very specific and many might not want to check it out because they might not know who he is. a lot of the traffic here, sadly, (besides the bots) is on the kpop topic anyway.

your writing is fine and youve done thorough research.
