Social media doubled down on short form videos overnight and completely ignored everyone else. I am a photographer, and I immediately became irrelevant because I didn't want to turn my photography into videos. But, that goes for every single person who didn't want to post 3 videos every day. Now, John & Jane Simpleton who just wanted to interact with their friends and a few favorite creators, they're no longer seeing their friends' posts because now their feed is full of video creators and ads. The everyday, average human beings, are the ones who hold the power to social media. Forcing EVERYONE to participate in short form videos was never going to be a sustainable practice.

I've been telling my fellow photographers for years: likes and followers don't validate the quality of your work. There's people who have tens of thousands of followers, who are mediocre photographers. There's spectacular photographers who have only a couple of hundred followers. As long as you do what you like and create what you like to create, the right audience for you will find you. Others, much like you described, just put out the content they think people will like to see. Then when it doesn't catch on, they cry about it. When in fact, they should just be honest with themselves and ask if it really is their best work or not.

@@JMRabil675 that’s lie. Instagram employees literally have a heat up and cool down button. This is documented. Employees have the power to make their friends go viral they also have the power to cool down aka shadow ban people/pages they don’t like. This is a documented fact. It’s also a documented fact that black creators are negatively affected by the algorithms because they are programmed in such a way that minimizes their reach and engagements. Congress literally grilled tik tok about this in a hearing. So you can’t tell me nothing about how I’m wrong about this. You can do literally everything right and have the best content in the world and Instagram whether through janky algorithms, prejudice employees or many currently unknown factors will destroy the reach of your account. The fact that Instagram is an ad revenue based platform makes Instagram a direct competitor to us as creators. It hurts Instagram’s bottom line if you as a creator have a million followers and all your posts get sent to 1 million accounts. That means a company would be better off paying you to reach a million followers rather than paying Instagram for ads. So what Instagram does is kills everyone’s reach so that it is more beneficial for companies to Instagram instead of a creator who has a million followers but they only reach 50,000 out of the million. I can debunk what you are saying from so many different angles. The Instagram algorithm is a joke. It’s a total fraud and they are literally stealing from the user base.

It’s already happened, so many of us quit socials ages ago, people don’t realize because we don’t post about it.

I’m basically making the decision to start over and treat all my platforms as I am starting from fresh. I will say the hardest thing for social media is seeing those low views when you are a one man show, and do all the hard work yourself. Low views just incentivize everyone to post less.

Thanks that was an enlightening review of social media platforms and the best way to do it as a creator in 2024.

This was so valuable! Thank you, Dominik!

I personally put any sponsor who interrupts my content consumption on a "Don't Buy" list and will go to a competitors instead. I am that petty and hate ads.

I think more people need to be petty in this way so that corpos get the memo that we don’t want products shoved in our faces 24/7

I just Quit Social Media, and i feel so great. NO stress or irritability now. T o a better life ahead🍷

This video was…inspiring? I’ve been creating content that I put a LOT of effort into for years and I’ve recently seen a lot of videos about how people are sick of short form and done with the mundane promotions and ads. I’ve seen videos about how it’s taken bigger creators 8 years of posting to actually start to gain traction. Oh, the instant graduation curse. This inspired me to get back to it and continue to create and do my own authentic thing. I’m going to keep going. It’s for other people, really - not for me, at the end of the day. I create for others, because I have a lot to share. I’m so glad that the community is catching up on this. Thank you, 10x over for this video.

Love this, please create more videos like this. Super informative.

Been here since like 2019 Dom always got the inside scoop Subbed for a reason

I gave myself a 3 year head start by deleting all my socials

Thanks for sharing

the pendulum swings through generations of entertainers

I don't know why can't they just have small pop-up banners at the bottom of the screen on short format video, for ads. Companies pay a lot to have their banners hang in football stadiums. why can't they just do the same for short format content??

Im tired of social media. Especially the so called relationship gurus.

Its a rough patch but no quitting is the answer

I appreciate your video!

I've considered jumping into content creation for awhile now. But I never wanted to put schlock out and peddle in negative things and your graph about whether you want 1M subscribers for money/clout or would you rather have 2K subs and change 3 peoples lives. YES to changing or helping people. Every single creative industry has booms and busts, but I think if there is a type of bust in content creation, it might actually clean out the mediocre and low hanging fruit content and birth really beautiful, life giving content. I'm still considering jumping in but I know it will be for the long haul because I want to do it for the artistry. Loved your video and I subscribed.

Amazing content

Thing is marketers started scanning analytics with all the wrong metrics, they don’t even know what they want to get from their campaigns. They used to throw money at creators and that would be that, but now they have to really think how to integrate that into a strategy and are blaming creators for weak results and driving down prices 😂

This was an inspiring and encouraging post. I greatly enjoyed this presentation and this video for my content creation. 🙌 ❤

When it comes to having a big platform like this. I think what matters the most is having that loyal following. Then it does having new followers. It's great to invite new people, but they are likely to disappear over a smaller. Of time, then the loyal followers who have a real reason to be following you because your content resonates with them personally where they're learning a lot from it.

You’re so right! Keeping and maintaining your loyal followers should be the focus, rather than just begging random strangers to subscribe. Real engagement with real people who have invested their time watching content on channels is key.

Doubling down on my email list and getting people in my Skool group here in 2024. Sick of meta and the state of social media. Just focusing on helping people and strengthening my brand on a more intimate level.

@@iammrbelcher I’ve been in it since 2020. I found myself making click bait posts on IG that grew my following but I wasn’t actually connecting with people for better brand recognition. Think it’s all about getting back to our roots (at least for myself being a service based business).
