At the moment I'm not really sure how to feel about the internet, it's becoming this weird place of algorithms and advertising and it feels like its dying and becoming something else.
It's been everywhere, opinions and thoughts of people talking about it on so many social media channels.
The new Instagram algorithm, it's awful, you can't see who you follow and it's just become this sort of game to get the most likes so you can actually have your content seen. Even scrolling through hashtags I'm finding people with loads of followers and likes, even underneath the top 9 posts for that hashtag.
On blogging, the smaller guys seem to be going un-noticed as big bloggers just become more and more unrelate-able and just walking advertisers, girl I get that bloggers need to make money but to sell your soul to brands who just want to use you for your authenticity that brands can't ever have.. Just what the hell is happening.
It's all kicking off on youtube too, with so many creators complaining that people aren't seeing their videos and being replaced by clickbait and ads.
It all seems like it's just all going down this route for social media platforms, now people are following/unfollowing on instagram too so they can have a more successful following, but its just god damn annoying and disheartening when you're trying to build your brand and its now come to this, because instagram isn't playing fair.
So come on internet, sort your shit out.
Stop thinking about your wallets and appreciate your users. You wouldn't be where you are without us little guys.
