6 comments  Not to mention Twitter's algorithm changes of recent which have disempowered even people with larger followings. macbudkowski.ethSubmitter True. I don't know what they changed, but it's not for the better. I have 2k+ followers, a blue checkmark, and a premium account, and even when I get 10-20 likes, my posts are seen by less than 1k people. Hi Mac, very inspiring blog entry! Amateur content creator (when I feel like I guess). I ended up reading the whole music NFT thread (what a masterpiece!) And then found Kiwi News, and here I am :) Mac, Love this article so much, n you converted me into a new kiwi's, I mean a kiwi HOLDER immediately :D Don't like to be the replygirl rather than posting/replying to some content I have some 'feelings'. Maybe by the end of the day, it's not really about the how many replies we've done, it's about how 'good' quality of the 'reply' macbudkowski.ethSubmitter Hey Kellyan, glad to hear that it resonated with you :) Quality def matters - whenever I see a thoughtful reply, I almost always check the author's profile. It's a great way to get to know people! |
