Fact or Fiction content taps into our natural curiosity and desire to test what we know. When members are presented with a bold statement about calisthenics, they are drawn to evaluate, guess, and discuss. This interactive approach not only educates but also creates a sense of fun challenge, which makes people more likely to participate.
These posts also lower the barrier for engagement. Instead of needing expertise or a long story, members just need an opinion or a guess. Revealing the answer afterward keeps the momentum going, as people check back to see if they were right and learn something new. This cycle of curiosity and feedback helps build a more active, knowledgeable community.
