Clickbait-Farming Explained: @HistContent

On social media the user "my name is ozymandias" (@THEWelshUgandan), a welsh archaeologist, explains a mechanism, using an actual example:

"here is how the @HistContent grift works.
1. Create a page containing both archaeological and pseudoarchaeological content, all derived from other people's work.
2. Gain attention by calling archaeologists, arrogant and lacking humility and respect.
3. Get called out".

followed by:

"4. Post about how you aren't interested in the pointless drama YOU just created, and how you've enjoyed blocking all those archaeologists to get the pseudos inside

5. Suddenly realise you've no archaeologists left to ask questions of, so unblock some to interact with"

then

"6. Post meaningless reply (much less visible than a post) where you say you want mutual respect

Yeah. That ain't gonna fly

And all that for a few more clocks and followers. What a duplicitous moron."

And so it goes on. How to deal with outreach in the shadow of this algorithm?
