why do my best posts always flop

Yo, real talk. Does anyone else feel like their *best* content just...flops? I spend ages crafting something I'm super proud of, deep dives, amazing edits, whatever – and it gets like, 7 likes. Then I post a random blurry selfie with a dumb caption and it blows up. The algorithm is personalizing its hate for me, I swear. #contentcreatorstruggles #algorhythmhate #whythough #flopped

Nah fr, I feel this in my soul. My most thought-out reels get like, zero engagement, but a blurry pic of my breakfast blows up. The internet is a mysterious beast. You're not alone!

Tbh, sometimes I feel like the algorithm actually *punishes* effort lol. Like when you overthink it, it loses that spontaneous, 'real' vibe that people actually engage with. Idk, just a theory.
