Expert insights tap into the authority bias, making members more likely to pay attention, trust the information, and engage with posts. When communities see advice or opinions from respected figures in bodybuilding, it validates the space and encourages deeper discussion.
Sharing expert viewpoints also helps introduce new knowledge, debunk myths, and create a sense of progress for members. By inviting members to share their own experiences or ask questions, you foster a collaborative learning environment where everyone benefits from both expert and peer contributions.
