This kept me busy for the past 12 months.
After the SuperX transition, I built a study/work cafe.
revenue β meh
positive impact β β
and I built it the indie way:
create something I personally wanted β improve it along the way
Platforms reward creators who stick to a niche. That makes sense, they want to show focused content
But we're human. We have more than a niche to share
Would be cool to see X become more natural @nikitabier
I have been on X for 4+ years, almost daily.
Chasing the algorithm has been real suffering and has never worked well for me, so I abandoned this idea a long time ago.
Now I do a lot of things that probably limit my account growth:
I don't care if I write outside of my cluster of topics. Philosophy, travel, whatever.
I repost or quote others to bring more attention to them or to make a certain discussion more visible.
I post with links because I find that a superior UX compared to putting links in the replies.
My main goal is to keep going. To stay consistent. I want to be writing daily for a long time, if possible forever.
And to keep myself at least partially authentic for as long as I can. I am afraid of being captured by the algorithm. Have you heard about audience capture? Even if you try hard to treat X as work, your optimization for it will slowly change you as a person, especially if you are not an anonymous account.
X does help me a lot, but I am lucky that my revenue doesn't depend fully on it.
And yet I am still super curious about how the algorithm works and what strategies others use to grow.
Everyone should find what works for them. If that's chasing the algorithm and you can sustain that and that helps to achieve your goals, then be it. Whatever makes you happy and works for you.
