Posting on social media used to get free views. Now you have to pay for anyone to see it.

Feel this so hard. Used to post a pic of my dog and fifty friends would like it by dinner. Now that same post reaches like, three people unless I open my wallet. It's wild watching your own content just vanish into the algorithm void. Makes the whole thing feel pointless sometimes.

Vanish into the algorithm void" is exactly it. I wonder if they want us to feel that pointlessness so paying feels like the only fix. Kinda makes the whole social part feel fake now.

Remember when thirty people saw my Instagram stories for free?

After the algorithm tweak, my reach flatlined. Whole platform feels like a paywall now.
