And there was a quote that stuck out for me. It read ” Don't waste time following people just because it will get you somewhere. Don't talk to people you don't want to talk to and don't talk about stuff you don't want to. If you want followers, be someone worth following.” That stayed with me and it had such an impact. Here is what I did to make sure my content was worth following and I was remaining true to my social media purpose. I _____ 1. 2. 3. It is true that social media forces us to think about (popularity/ likeability/ profitability) but I think there are other things that are important too___(curiosity, real connectivity and community) Am I wrong to think this way?https://forwardforty.com/simplify/wp-content/uploads/2021/06/footerline-2.jpg
