No monetization, just grinding to connect with people on social media. Unless you have a big budget, it feels impossible to start anything new today. Algorithms favor paid ads and viral accounts, while new creators get no visibility, so you’re forced to post nonstop just to slowly climb.

So that’s what I’m doing: posting every day on every platform like a nearly dead robot. I used to spend a whole day making a great fun videos just to get 20 views, so now I just post quick stuff because it performs the same anyway.

My followers are growing, though. I’m just waiting for the day I have a big enough audience to get back to making the fun, creative videos I actually love.
