New Game Plan!
I promise this post is positive!
Last night I scoured the Internet for clues as to why my Instagram activity tanked overnight, and I found out that I am not alone. I also forgot to mention in my last post that I noticed half of my friends on there had drastic drops in likes (I've been paying close attention to like counts when I scroll through posts). It was weird and there was a clear distinction from the other half of my friends (who seem to be getting more and more likes each day).
So what happened?
They tweaked their algorithm. Again.
They are making it more like Facebook, where the more comments and likes a post gets, the more likely your friends (and others) will see it, which sucks in my opinion, especially for small accounts like mine, but that's a rant for another day!
I looked up some new strategies (as in from posts made within the past month because that's when everything took a nose dive).
You basically have to up your comment game and start getting into Instagram Stories.
So here it goes! Hopefully I can get everything back to where it was in April because I worked too hard to get that far just to lose it over an annoying algorithm.
