Boosting... Specifically, your own posts.
Boosting your own post right away doesn't do anything useful.
Boosting your own post a few days later brings it back into the timeline for anyone who missed it the first time around.
But how about boosting your own reply? If a reply is also relevant outside of the discussion, is there any advantage to boosting it? Would more people see it? I mean boosts are not a part of the thread, but does that make any difference?
Once upon a time I thought yes, but later came to the opposite conclusion. I'm guessing you know the definitive answer.
