Good evening, everyone.
My name is aBDuLSaLaM, originally from Osun State, Nigeria, now living in Canada 🇨🇦
I’m not here for a formal introduction, but to share something that’s been weighing on me
I’ve been an X lover since 2022, but my real journey began in August 2025 when I joined the Follow-for-Follow trend. Fast forward to today, I’ve grown to over 13,000 followers, and for that, I’m deeply grateful 🥲.
However, my biggest regret is that while I was focused on building my follower count, I didn’t invest enough in cultivating genuine mutuals and real engagement. That decision is now costing me
Despite having 13K followers, my recent posts barely get any meaningful interaction. It hurts to realize that out of all those followers, I don’t even have 100 active mutuals who genuinely engage with my content.
I consistently like, reply, repost, bookmark, and engage with others yet it’s still incredibly difficult to even reach 1K views within 24 hours.
The algorithm isn’t helping, but this still feels disappointing.
It’s all fine though… just had to get this off my chest.
