#122 - Algorithm Confusion

Today is our weekly trends and content ideas episode.

Before diving into trends, a few thoughts and observations from the past week.

Topic 1: Algorithm Mistakes

Misleading Advice on Following Niche Accounts

• Many people advise following accounts in your niche to grow your audience.
• This advice can be misleading and counterproductive.
• Following similar creators may lead to constant comparison, stifling creativity.

• Instead, follow accounts that inspire you in different ways.

Why This Matters

• Watching varied content fuels unique perspectives and creativity.
• Helps prevent unintentional mimicry and allows creators to carve their own space.
• Followers should be people who need your content, not just fellow creators.
• Engage with a wider audience to grow authentically.
