Content creation seems to favour versatility, which is a double edged sword. It both encourages creativity, advertising your work from new angles and also wants you to follow what is viral without conforming TOO much.

Making content that gets traction requires you to plan relatability and engagement, for me this feels dishonest. I’d rather connect at work in person in a genuine way, as two people who both want to be there! Over seeking connection out to gather more views, likes, follows and comments.

Content creation for business success is a shitty dynamic. Algorithm’s priorities are seen as altruistic instead of unfair. Based on desirability metrics, quality of equiptment, conformity to trends etc. [contains quote post or other embedded content]03 May 2025 16:58 +0000at://did:plc:q3324t7xarik5c75vlwh2efg/app.bsky.feed.post/3lobsqzjzr22jhttps://bsky.app/profile/bugtattoos.bsky.social/post/3lobsoakbtc2jIve been working on making content for the doom scrolls lately.
