Ugh, I hear you! I deleted Threads from my phone (I feel like I don't know how to use it??) and I set a timer for my daily Instagram intake. Thank you for writing and sharing!

It already is wonderful. Thank you for the work of this incredible piece, and what it will offer so many others as they determine what they want their space to be and look like for themselves and thank you for inviting me to participate in yours.

I read your post and wished fervently that I hadn't. It confirms my belief that for an average writer, there is no hope at all for acquiring a small, close circle of readers. My sense of despair is now deeper. The almighty "algorithm" is a beast that cannot be satisfied.

Most refreshing peice that I have read in a while or maybe it's that you were bold enough to say out loud what it looks like from here clearly alot of us all have been feeling pretty much the same ourselves although, couldn't have put it or said it any bit better myself, as you did a fanstically fine job of so detailedly describing it to where you get the Jest, No Doubt! You did a wonderful job most of all at expressing just how often borderline sickening it can be when one's consistently observing how just so now adays seems like so OVERLY almost just "gimicky" right? Until this, found myself feeling like "IS IT JUST ME?" one find's themselves asking lately or so it seems, WHY? Just about everything you see online these days even so called "authentic" or "Life style" personal content all YOUR RIGHT Seems to give off "Brand" rather then the intended Je ne sais quoi of the past to where it's just to much 'FEED THE BEAST" Is right creating a bunch of what looks like sad desperation. Glad We're not alone :)
