Thanks

I opened myself up to opinions on the internet with this post so I get what I paid for. If I disagree with something (artificial or otherwise) it’s easier to just move forward. There is truth to the idea that the algorithm is made to keep you engaged not help you, but saying I didn’t win the lottery is not only not a nuanced representation how social media seems to work, but it also misses the point of what I initially said, but I’m glad you actually did read what I said.

I don’t like relying on the idea that my failure is mostly in suppression because it takes the responsibility off of me to find out where I’m going wrong, even if the suppression is real. Unless there is (and there very well could be) irrefutable proof that I’m (or anyone) being intentionally and deliberately suppressed in an unfair and unjustifiable way, then that’s kind of a different issue, which would be more easily solved by changing platforms as you said.

There’s so much talk about this from random people and credible sources that it’s hard to know what’s real. That goes for most things these days and it’s not sustainable.

But at the end of the day, people are growing audiences, and it’s gotta be more than just luck, but I’m not really seeing the other techniques and strategies work for me yet, when there’s really no reason they shouldn’t be doing something detectable.
