Instead of becoming an AI spammer, why not reduce your social media postings instead? They are not as important as you think. Entrepreneurs like to believe that social media views and likes mean something. They don't. Visitors arriving through Google are much more likely to become customers, social media users are just killing time waiting for the bus.

I was in your exact situation, letting the social media accounts rest have had no negative impact on sales.

Well, you are not totally right. There are millions of customers on social media, as a matter of fact many businesses have sold millions of products via social media, so I will advice you to rethink your opinion about social media.

I will rather have AI publish a post per day on my business social pages than abandon it.

Anyways, thanks for your feedback.

Right! Social media doesn't drive business and not for demand gen.
