@voidfreud I’m literally writing about ADHD, focus, and how posting random photos breaks the algorithm…

and you post seal photos at the same moment.

This is too funny 😂

[senya_zar @senya_zar]

But there is one big nuance… 😂

The two comments that performed best were literally some of the dumbest comments I’ve written.

12К + 14К Impressions…

[senya_zar @senya_zar]

For context, yesterday looked like this:

6.1K impressions.

I was already happy with that.

[senya_zar @senya_zar]

Yeah, I totally agree with you.

I’m honestly very inconsistent with this.

Yesterday I posted about photography/video as a hobby, and then immediately thought: “why not just post beautiful photos because I want to?”

But that’s probably the trap.

If I want to grow around build in public, I need to teach the algo — and people — what to expect from me.

Hard to stay focused when everything is interesting 😅

[senya_zar @senya_zar]

@voidfreud True.

I want to think about this a bit more.

Maybe this kind of strategy makes sense if the goal is monetization.

But honestly, this type of traffic doesn’t feel very satisfying.

Numbers go up, but it doesn’t really feel like building something.

Day 14

New record: ~38K Impressions

Honestly, I was just waiting for the spike to end.

It felt weird.

Engagement rate dropped from 1.7% to 1.1%.

I hope this story is useful for beginners:

big views ≠ quality growth.

The good part:

5M impressions feels a little more realistic now.

The honest part:

I want to get there with content I’m actually proud of.

[senya_zar @senya_zar]

Oh my god 😱

Today I got 28.3K impressions in one day.

[senya_zar @senya_zar]

So yes, the numbers look good.

But I don’t want to lie to myself:

this is mostly noise.

It gives impressions for the stats, but it probably doesn’t bring the right people.

[senya_zar @senya_zar]

They were not deep product thoughts.

Not AI insights.

Not a useful thread for developers.

Just quick comments under a random video that had 4K views when I replied.

Then the video went to 400K+.

@foxtomb232 102M impressions is insane 😳

Now I’m curious — how much of that actually turned into money?

[senya_zar @senya_zar]

@Dwriteway This is a great point.

Sometimes I get too focused on specific numbers that don’t actually reflect the full picture.

Worth remembering.

@DanielSmidstrup Admit it, you had those thoughts too 😂

[senya_zar @senya_zar]

My emotional side:

Oh no… they’re breaking my heart.

My worst side:

Install software to track every single person who unfollowed you 😂

[senya_zar @senya_zar]

@DanielSmidstrup Glad to hear that.

I’m sure you’ll have many more insights to share as the product keeps growing.

And we’ll help with activity here 🚀

[senya_zar @senya_zar]

@itzSaasified @web3devop Didn’t the global economy invest in .coms too?

A lot of bad bets collapsed.

But the internet didn’t disappear.

[senya_zar @senya_zar]

@coryalthoff Agree.

A personal brand removes a lot of friction.

When people trust the founder, they’re more likely to try the product — even if there are similar alternatives.

Trust becomes part of the distribution.

[senya_zar @senya_zar]

@itzSaasified @web3devop Why?

[senya_zar @senya_zar]

@DanielSmidstrup If that’s 300–400% on the money invested, not counting your time, it feels fair.

Time is probably the part that’s hardest to price.
