definitely more crowded now but now open more opportunity now.but generic content gets lost pretty fast so having a clear niche and posting something people actually find useful

there are definetly alot of competitors out there, and i know its not easy to stand out when there is already so much content everywhere. but honestly i think generic content is gonna get left behind sooner or later, becuse when everything looks kinda the same, people dont really have a reason to remember it. having a strong niche, your own angle and some personality can make a big diffrence. you dont need to compete with everyone, just finding your own space and doing things in your own way can help you go much futher in the long run.

It might be necessary to target a more niche audience; there's a lot of content, but much of it seems like a copy of each other.

Yeah, definitely. There’s so much content being posted that it’s harder to get noticed, but I think consistency and having a recognizable style matter even more now. The people who stand out are usually the ones who give people a reason to remember them.

competition is insane but most ppl focus on content when they ignore basics like proper account warmup and real engagement. ive seen ppl post fire content on cold accounts and get buried while others with weaker posts blow up just bc their accounts are aged and have actual audience connection. dont overlook the fundamentals

For sure. The sheer volume of daily uploads makes organic growth a grind. Algorithms favor high engagement right away, so unless you hook people instantly, your stuff just gets buried.

That's true, but the problem isn't due to an excess of content, but rather a lack of differentiation; simply focusing on a niche and delivering real value instead of chasing quantity will still allow you to break through.

Yes it's definitely harder than a few years ago, since there are too many people competing nowadays for other people's eyeballs/views.

Yeah, the volume is insane but I believes that the generic stuff is the one that is not getting noticed. A small account with gud character can easily break through.
