Sound bite
Regarding those who expect engagement on Twitter without putting in enough effort:
Waiting for something to happen on Twitter is like standing there in front of a fire and telling it, “If you don’t blaze brighter and more hotly I won’t throw any wood on you.” It confuses the cause and effect.
