Like or react to the content of the page. If you want to be a diehard fan, you need to engage with the site’s content more than anyone. An easy way to do this is to like or react to anything on the page no matter what. You will soon become a top fan of the page. ^{[1] X Research Source}

Another great way to increase engagement is to leave a comment or two.

Watch the video of the page. Try to watch the entire video so the algorithm understands that you are interacting with the content on the page. If the site you follow posts a lot of videos, you can become a die-hard fan by watching all the videos and leaving a like or comment. ^{[2] X Research Source}

Facebook’s algorithm tracks interactions to see what posts you click on and how long videos you watch. This is also the deciding factor if you are a top fan or not.
Try to watch the entire video because otherwise, the algorithm will think that you are trying to fool the system by watching a short video and then exiting the page.
