👉Many writers are experiencing a sense of demoralization following the bursting of the earnings bubble.

Where did we go wrong?

Uncle Algo wanted engagement — some of us already had it built through hard work and dedication to our community and craft. Others scrambled onto the bandwagon so as not to miss their chance of the golden ticket.

Some overdid it maxing out the 100 comments and forming R4R groups.

❓Can you really blame them? There were no rules other than the catchphrase ‘Engagement is King!’ So people made their own rules.

❓What’s the buzzword now? Authentic engagement? Who determines what’s authentic or manufactured? AI?👀

Apparently, more changes in algorithm and earnings calculations are in store 😲

I’m just going to focus on documenting my life. It’s more exciting and less exhausting!👇
