X or Bluesky
Which is better to use, X or Bluesky? In terms of NSFW content, and going 'viral'. I'm a youtuber and make travel vlogs and have about 200 subscribers on youtube

X is fully of bots and people who feel their opinions deserve to be mounted on a gold plate. If you go viral on here chances are it’s for the wrong reasons and I would probably go as far to say if you get a lot of interaction on here it’s probably some foreign guy in front of 60 screens in a bit far putting out random crap on a thousand posts every few minutes.
Bluesky I’ve never heard of anyone going viral on Bluesky personally.

Bluesky’s been way better for me in terms of actually getting seen without having to game some algorithm, the discover feeds actually work if you use the right hashtags. X feels like a ghost town unless you’re already big or willing to post bait 24/7
For NSFW stuff bluesky is weirdly chill about it, you can label your posts properly and people who want that content find it, no shadowbans like on X where a bit of skin gets you hidden from search. If you’re doing travel vlogs though I’d say the audience on bluesky actually engages more, less of the silent scroll past thing
X still has the numbers on paper but half of them are bots or people arguing about nothing, not exactly the crowd that’s gonna click through to your youtube channel. Made the switch about three months back and my referral traffic bumped up maybe 15%, nothing huge but it’s actual people commenting and sharing

Anyone else wish you could just see posts from people you follow, without the algorithm deciding for you?
I got fed up with feeds full of suggested/random content instead of the people I actually follow. Curious if this resonates with anyone else here or if I'm overthinking a problem nobody else has.

Is social media marketing becoming less about followers and more about distribution?
# Is social media marketing becoming less about followers and more about distribution? A brand can have 100K followers and still get little reach, while a small account can get millions of views from one post. So what matters more today: **building a large audience or creating content that algorithms distribute widely?** **Curious what SMM people think.**

i helped him go from a few thousand views to 100k+. now he hates what we make.
i help a guy with his content, and lately i feel weird taking any credit for the numbers. he makes beautiful short videos, properly shot, with a lot of thought behind the lighting and the edit. those usually get a few thousand views. his work needs the reach, so i suggested trying some of what's already working. copying trending concepts and formats, adapting them to his style, using trending audio. those started clearing 100k, some way past that. it kept happening, and eventually “let’s try a few” turned into most of what we make. when we first started working together, we'd spend our conversations talking about shots, where the light would be, how long to hold on something. now we're mostly talking about whether a trend is still alive and if we can get ours posted in time. he told me he feels like he's losing a little piece of his soul for views. i didnt really know what to say because i'm the one who encouraged it, and the reason i gave him still holds up: more people are seeing his work. except i'm starting to wonder what that's worth if the work they're seeing is stuff he doesn't want to make. i don't think the trend videos are beneath him or that being proud of something means it deserves 100k views. but we went into this thinking the trend stuff would bring enough attention to support the work he actually cared about. instead, every time we plan one of his original ideas, we're comparing it to what following a trend could do, and it gets harder to justify spending the time. for people who manage accounts for a living, have you actually made that balance work? i'm interested in how you decide what gets made when the stuff your client loves consistently gets a fraction of the views. we said we'd keep doing both, but that hasn't meant much in practice.

Why am I using 5 different tools to manage social media?
Maybe this is just me, but my social media workflow currently looks something like: ChatGPT → content ideas Canva → design Scheduler → publishing Analytics tool → reporting Inbox → replies Spreadsheet → planning And then I'm somehow supposed to call this an "efficient workflow"😂 I'm curious if anyone has actually found a social media management tool that brings more of this together. Especially now that Al tools are becoming more capable. Would you rather have one platform that can actually execute tasks, or do you prefer having separate best-in-class tools?

Creators who have built an audience, I would love to hear from you!
I'm interested in hearing from creators who have built a business around their social media audience, whether it's been successful or not! I'm exploring the idea of becoming a behind the scenes, commercial operator for creators/influencers, and I want to understand what it's actually like to build a business as a creator, alongside the content and brand deals! Brands are making money from the audiences and communities creators have built, but how many creators are actually turning that attention into a sustainable business of their own? From the research I've been doing, it seems like loads of creators are spending hours making content every week and relying on brand deals, affiliate links and social media algorithms to keep money coming in. Having had experience building and running businesses myself, I know how much time and effort can go into building something. There's the product development, whether that be digital or physical, figuring out what people will actually buy, building sales funnels, creating memberships and managing all the operations. Now, I'm curious whether there's a gap for someone who can take some of that responsibility off a creator's hands. **So if you're a creator, I'd love to know:** * What's been the hardest part of turning your audience into money aside from brand deals? * Have you ever wanted to launch something but struggled to get it off the ground? * Is there anything on the business side you wish someone else could just take care of? * Do you enjoy running the business side of things, or would you rather focus on creating and have someone else handle it? ***I'm not trying to sell anything here!*** **I'm trying to understand what creators struggle with and whether this is a problem worth solving.** Would love to hear about your experiences, including if things that haven't worked!
