ty for sharing your story with us. It is very refreshing that I was not alone on this. At first I was confused how people put up with it and gave their hard earned cash for the ads. The answer that I've got was: you either beat the algorithm or learn the ropes. I truly understand that some small business has to do anything to keep it upfloat. The same goes for those who need to stick to their job because of their bills. I have respect for them. However, what I have learned that the more I compromise my values, my authenticity in order to survive, it only brought resentment. Hence, I decided I will do business within my terms and with the people/company I am comfortable with. No more compromises. I have no problem creating organic content from those platforms to drive traffic to where I need my target audience to reside. I am 🤞 my fingers that #nostr last so I do not need to go back creating ads from those big techs! ☺️🫂✌️
