That's a bigger number than I was expecting. Feels like having backup accounts is almost mandatory these days with how quickly things can change on Reddit.

I've definitely seen more people saying Reddit has become much stricter recently. What's interesting is that sometimes a normal personal account seems to survive much longer than setups with proxies, antidetect browsers and multiple layers of protection. Feels like Reddit is getting better at...

That's a pretty wild coincidence if the two are actually related. Hopefully it's just a bug on Meta's side and not some unintended side effect of changing that setting. Definitely curious to hear if anyone else experienced the same thing.

Pinterest can feel really slow at the beginning compared to other platforms. From what I've seen, a lot of people quit before their pins even have a chance to gain traction. Consistency seems to matter more on Pinterest than on most social networks.

I've noticed something similar recently. It feels like getting views has become easier than converting those viewers into followers. Maybe people are consuming more content through recommendations without ever visiting the profile anymore.

I think you're probably right to some extent. If all your growth comes from other creators in the same niche, you can end up building an audience of people who are also trying to sell rather than buy. That's not necessarily bad for networking, but it's probably not the audience you'd want for...

I'd be interested to hear what people are doing as well. It definitely feels like account management has become a lot less forgiving recently. Even setups that worked fine a year ago don't seem nearly as reliable anymore.

I've seen some AI-generated posts do surprisingly well, but only when someone has clearly edited them first. When everything starts sounding the same, people lose interest pretty quickly. I think AI is a good starting point, but adding your own voice makes a big difference. :)

From what I've seen, the blue check doesn't automatically lead to more engagement. :cool: The accounts that grow the fastest usually post consistently and give people a reason to come back, rather than relying on the badge. I'd focus more on testing different content styles and posting times to...

Honestly, the most unexpected traffic I've had came from someone sharing my post in a newsletter. I wasn't tracking that source at all, so it was a nice surprise.

Personally, I'd avoid platforms that lock you into their ecosystem. If you already know you'll want your own domain later, it's worth choosing something that's easy to migrate from.

I'm curious about this too. From what I've read, the Android version seems to matter more than having a powerful phone. I'd also be interested to know if anyone is still using older devices successfully or if they're becoming more of a limitation now.;)

I'd focus on posting consistently before worrying too much about growth hacks. Replies can help you get noticed, but if someone visits your profile, they'll still need a good reason to follow you. I'd build up a solid library of posts first and then experiment with trends to see what resonates.

I think a lot of people go through that at first. People will watch content without interacting, so don't get discouraged. Small changes like asking for opinions or sharing something relatable can make a bigger difference than you'd expect.

Honestly, I'd just read a lot of good threads. The more you pay attention to the first few lines, the easier it gets to understand what grabs your attention and what makes you scroll past. :suspicious:
