We explore the dangerous trap of vanity metrics in brand communities, using Discord and Slack as case studies. Lucas and Luna dissect why high engagement numbers often mask low-quality interactions that fail to drive retention or revenue. We break down how to distinguish between noise and signal, focusing on specific behavioral cues that actually predict customer loyalty.
