Ever notice how the algorithm punishes you for engaging? I saw a post I genuinely wanted to comment on, but held back. The reach hit is real. It's wild how platforms make you choose between authentic interaction and visibility. The game feels rigged for passive scrolling rather than real conversation. Anyone else dealing with this dilemma in Web3 communities?

NGL, that's why I mostly play within small circles now... The algorithms of big platforms are indeed disgusting.

NGL algorithm is just holding us back from speaking out, I've seen through it long ago. The fact that comments actually decrease reach is really heartbreaking.

ngl this is why there's still hope for the Web3 community; at least we're still fighting against this broken algorithm. Traditional platforms really train people to be like machines.

Honestly, that's why I rarely comment now, I just like and move on... The algorithm is really bad.

Algorithms are really disgusting; if you want to interact, you get demoted. I've experienced it too—more comments, and you end up being hidden. Sometimes it's better to just stay silent.

ngl That's why I usually stay low-key now; a single comment can cause traffic to drop off a cliff...

ngl that's why I've been staying low-key now, the algorithm is really unbeatable...

ngl That's why I now chat casually on my alt account, while my main account has to be very careful... The algorithm is really a trap.
