    You could post more often to appear on top of feeds more times a day. And that would be just a low hanging fruit of “growth hacking”. Never underestimate what a business can do to drain attention...

    Thanks for the clarification, @ButteredToast! Until now, I thought smooth and kinetic scrolling were the same. I'll update the post when I find some spare time.
