Fewer engagement is grammatically incorrect. Fewer shits is colloquially incorrect. If they want to be a pedant, they should at least know what the fuck they are talking about. If I were to try to improve it, I would change "less shits" to "less of a shit" but it's all slang anyway. Anyone suggesting such a correction is a wanker.

Looked at their profile, the funnier thing is that basically every post they make is grammatically incorrect

Not in my area. Fewer shits is correct.

If you want to use less, say "less of a shit".

Yes I think "less of a shit" is the right way (as I mentioned in the comment above).

Where do you live? UK?
