You’re making a mistake.

If you’re relying your entire life on algorithms, you’re making a mistake.

Big mistake.

Most people think, "My account, my choice.”

The platform thinks, "Your account, my choice.”

This is how platforms treat creators.

Lightning strikes his wallet.

He gets laid off because Facebook’s Reels changed its algorithm.

Algorithm changes = Earnings drop

Earnings drop = His company goes bankrupt.

He’s the brother of a friend of mine.

The nightmare?

He’s not the only one headed for disaster because of an algorithm shift.

You create content.

Algorithms decide how it gets distributed.

They don’t care that you need money to buy diapers for your kid.

Because they can change anything without your "permission.”

You can’t control algorithms, and that’s the source of anxiety.
