A pheromone (from Greek φέρω phero "to bear" + hormone from Greek ὁρμή - "impetus") is a secreted or excreted chemical factor that triggers a social response in members of the same species. Pheromones are hormones capable of acting outside the body of the secreting individual to impact the behavior of the receiving individual.[1] There are alarm pheromones, food trail pheromones, sex pheromones, and many others that affect behavior or physiology. Their use among insects has been particularly well documented. In addition, some vertebrates and plants communicate by using pheromones. (Wikipedia.org)
When you start discussing algorithm trading with like-minded individuals on social media, you disperse algorithm pheromones via your words. The more value you add and the more intelligent your posts, the more likely smart individuals will want to interact with you to discuss this topic. The Internet works magic that way.
