To whom it may concern:
I’m going to post what I want.
I’m going to reply to people.
I’m going to share posts that matter to me.
This is MY account. I built it from the ground up. I pay for my checkmark and help support this platform.
So forgive me if I refuse to believe that being active, engaging with people and actually being SOCIAL on a social media app is somehow “wrong.”
I follow the rules. I don’t spam. I don’t manipulate engagement. I simply use this platform the way it was intended to be used - by connecting with people.
If creators are being punished for interacting too much, posting too much or having opinions that don’t fit neatly into an algorithm, then say that clearly. Give people transparency instead of forcing them to guess why their reach suddenly disappears overnight.
At the end of the day, this account is mine. The audience was earned, not handed to me. And I’m not going to stop being authentic just to satisfy an algorithm nobody fully understands.
