I'd like to believe it didn't, and that it's my efforts paying off. But if we're being realistic, tech twitter is male dominant, so as much as I wish it didn’t, maybe it did. If that makes sense.

As i am a student , i can't spend so much time to tech twitter , and that's why I can't gain engagements from people . Is there any solution for that ?

Glad you found it helpful. Yeah, I'm probably doing it wrong, spending 6hrs on Twitter isn't healthy😂 I'd say just get on Twitter when you can, and create content whenever possible. Don't stress yourself, and keep creating! People understands we have lives outside of Twitter.
