My client took six days to approve a post and then asked why it flopped

I sent this client a finished post on a Monday morning. Nothing complicated, just a promo that was tied to a date that week. It sat there. I nudged once on Wednesday, politely. I got a thumbs up emoji back, which I have learned means nothing at all. The actual approval came Friday night, six days later, after the promo date had already passed and the moment the post was built for was gone. We posted a version of it anyway because they still wanted it up. On Monday they asked why reach was so low compared to the last promo. I did not handle it perfectly in the moment. I wanted to say the post did not flop, the timing did, and the timing was not mine. What I actually did after that was put a simple rule in writing for the next month: approvals come back within two business days, and if they come back late, the post date moves with them. No rush rebuilds, no quiet absorbing of a missed window. One named person approves, not a group thread where everyone assumes someone else looked. They agreed, mostly because I showed them the dates in a row. Sent Monday, nudged Wednesday, approved Friday night, posted late, results low. Seeing it as a timeline made it hard to argue with. It has been better since, not perfect. Approvals still drift when they get busy, but now at least the schedule drift is visible and it is shared. How do you handle late approvals? Do you move the date, charge a rush fee, or just post late and let the numbers say what they say?

How many rounds of revisions before a post stops being yours? I just watched a good idea die on round 4.

I do social for a few small clients. Last week I wrote a post I was actually proud of. Timely, a little funny, sounded like a real person. Then it went into approvals. Round 1, the hook got softened. Round 2, the joke came out. Round 3, the caption got rewritten to sound more like the brand, which apparently means more like a brochure. Round 4, someone senior who does not spend any time on the platform weighed in and we started over. The final version took 8 days to publish. It is fine. It is also something I would scroll right past. My question for other freelancers: do you cap revision rounds in your contract, and has anyone actually enforced it when a client pushed past the cap? I am thinking two rounds max, then we talk. Curious if that holds up in real life or if clients just laugh at it.

Why doesn’t Apple make a social media platform given all the major privacy concerns out of the popular platforms.

microsoft owns linkedin (imo that is social media). google owns youtube. maybe it is time for Apple to start a social media given the rise of Muse creating personal dossiers on all of its users (Meta - Facebook, Instagram, Whatsapp). or even acquire one? I would love to use something other than tiktok, snapchat, instagram, youtube, or linkedin. apple?

How do I unsloppify my TikTok FYP?

Recently I’ve begun getting a lot more AI slop on my for you page. I guess it’s because of AI now being able to operate software like Blender right? Either way, my real question is: how do I get rid of it? I want my for you page to be genuine authentic content but I can’t seem to find a setting that lets me block out the slop. Any help would be much appreciated!!!

The amount of sexual content in the reels is absurd. Even real/AI nudity.

I have the last few days made it my mission to report every reel with real/Ai nudity per community guidelines. Out of about 50 reports, only 2 videos have been removed. And let me remind you they were all CLEAR NUDITY. I have not reported any suggestive nudity, only in you face real nudity, like some one showing breasts, or directly porn. But they all have some weird filters on, and I suspect it’s to fool Facebook ai, so the videos don’t get taken down. Is the process a real human looking at the videos or AI? What are we to do about the endless spamming of nude videos and porn on social media, when the AI can’t detect them?
