I saw the title and went NOOO WAYYY SHE IS SURVIVING THIS SHIT HOLE. Sylvia was so vulnerable she would've felt suffocated too i feel. She'd probably delete all her socials good lord.
As for me, I've gone to not posting for months or just occasionally dropping 2 reels a months if I feel like it or 20 in a day if I want to. I am tired of the whole branding thing. Social media has been my escape since I was 13-14 and my medium of self expression and I have decided I'm not going to let stupid expectations of the algorithm take that away from me you know? If my video reaches 1 million, id be happy, if it reaches 100 people I'd be happy too. Because to me happiness comes from the fact that i got to express myself in the way I wanted and not how its being perceived. I am not saying it's easy for me though, there are days when I do check my likes and views but overtime it has became less frequent alhamdulillah.
I took this decision with my art account even before. Art is waaaayyy too precious to me and there was no way I was gonna let algorithm come in between. I do like to post it because it helps me keep a track of all the times I sat to paint and my prafctice paintings in general. I get like 100 views or 5 likes at times and alhamdulillah alhamdulillah alhamdulillah I am least bothered about it and still proud of it at the same time.
Inshallah we all find peace in whatever we find peace in 🎀🩷
That's the best way to deal with it, Tahoora. I am glad you are processing all that in your head and choosing what's best for you. I wish I could see that and still choose to stay.
As for me, I am getting an ick just being there yk. I used to like that same shot hole, a lot, really. Now I feel I am better off and much more creative without it. So obviously, it all depends on whatever phase we are in our life, I guess?!

Yes yes totally! Right now since I don't have a job it's fitting well ... I don't know how it'll be once I get busy
