"WHAT MORE DO YOU WANT FROM ME????"
That's what I feel like screaming at my phone, or rather, the social media apps on my phone. The ones that I have become a slave to. Not because I doom scroll, although I've been known to do that, but because they have basically made me their bitch. And for what??? I follow all the dos and don'ts that they say will increase my engagement and bring all the new followers running and ...... crickets.
I know I'm not alone in this. It's something that is sweeping the platforms. I don't know who is exempt from it, but clearly some are.
I've been a loyal user and believer in Instagram for years. I've launched and grown multiple businesses on there. Reached clients all over the world. When Instagram pivoted, I did too. When they added new features, I learned how to use them. When their latest AI suggested new hashtags for my account, I implemented them. And for what? I've been their bitch for so long and I think I'm done.
I love writing and creating videos and graphics and sharing to my stories but now it all seems to be falling on deaf ears. IG has chosen their clique and I guess I'm not in it. My stuff just isn't being seen anymore. So instead of being excited about the content I create for social media, I resent it. Followed by frustration. It takes a lot of time to write and create and for it not to be seen by anyone is sad. I'm better off writing and creating here, in this space which was built for it.
So here I am. Doing what I love. Writing. Sharing. Commiserating. Here I will share my channeled messages from Spirit, my multipassionate musings and whatnots, and whatever else I feel like. I'll still post on my IG and FB stories and of course occasionally on my feed, but I can't feed into that frustration any longer.
*side note - there's more to this frustration realization and it's got me pretty excited! That's another post though. ;)
Loveyoukaybyeeee,
