Planted first comment
Every post ships with a planted first comment from a different team member who adds a tangentially-different angle — not a 'great post Sarafina' echo. The author replies to it within 30 minutes.
- Author drafts the comment for the planter; planter rewords in their own voice
- Planter posts within 5 minutes of the original going live
- Author replies to the planter with a follow-up question or resource
- Don't let the planter just say 'Spot on'
- Don't have the same person plant twice in one week
- Don't time-stamp 'Posted by an admin' — use a personal account
