Navigating Social Media Algorithm Changes

Social media algorithms are changing, leading to declining reach and exposure for many content creators across various platforms. This shift has resulted in creators attempting to post more frequently to regain visibility, often leading to burnout instead. Platforms like TikTok have influenced how content is shown, prioritizing user interest over established subscriptions, which complicates the visibility for creators who have long invested in building their audiences. The key takeaway is that focusing on attracting the right audience is crucial, as the quality of interaction now outweighs the quantity of followers.
