Abstract
The present application relates to a method for exchanging engagement on a social media network that comprises an ordered sequence of steps (i., ii., iii., iv., v.), comprising receiving an engagement request (i.), validating said engagement request (ii.), providing a link for the content item subject to the engagement action only to validated users (iii., iv.) and checking if the engagement action is performed (v.). In a preferred aspect, the method implements a reward mechanism that ensures balance between all user profiles when it comes to requesting and giving engagement, which favours transparency and fairness among all of them when accessing engagement actions.
