Why I started this now

Tipping the balance to starting a blog/portfolio was frustration. Over time, Instagram and Facebook stopped showing posts to followers sequentially unless they switched manually to chronological order. Many don’t know this is an option, much less exercise it. Now, algorithms decide what and when to show posts to followers or, in marketing speak, followers get a ‘curated feed’

Using Insta primarily, I post logically by topic and date so my profile reads from left to right/top to bottom. Meta then feeds that in random order (if at all). Too often a post is met with the comment ‘oh, now I get your earlier post’ or ‘I thought that happened months ago’

Here, I have complete control. No faceless algorithm making curatorial and value decisions as to the worth or otherwise of posts/content and how that is to be consumed by followers
