It's so true, Ayo. Plus a hundred other factors. Like, never fails that we launch some piece we have high hopes for when the news cycle goes crazy with some big story. It's a crapshoot every single time. The biggest mistake people make is feeling rejected when a piece doesn't fly. It happens all the time. To all of us. Well said. :)
Yeah I one hundred percent AM trying to get views. And if my posts aren't performing well for sustained periods of times then it's important to analyze why -- could either be the content itself or the platform/algo -- but it's a waste of time having specific expectations for every single piece of content I put out. It would be exhausting to think that way! Yet some people do.
If it's on Substack, it's probably the title. If it's on Medium, it's the platform. lol. But you're so right, we can't be married to every single thing we write, it's too exhausting.
