The thread debates a study claiming Americans discuss auto purchases on social media 30,000 times per day, with participants skeptical of the figure given their own limited firsthand observations. Several commenters note the study was conducted by a social media agency with an obvious interest in inflating the numbers. A practical takeaway emerges around dealers encouraging organic customer posts through small incentives like gift cards rather than relying on vendors or paid social strategies.
