The ugly truth is that in order to crush it on Instagram, it’s IGTV, in order to benefit from LinkedIn, it’s video. The same could be said about Facebook. And for Twitter it’s either follow for follow, or you’re already a person of local, national, or international interest. And TikTok is exclusively short video clips. So frustrating for anyone who’s not good in front of a camera. Not to mention YouTube is also video only. They have no idea that it’s an unfair competition. People who say useless stuff in front of a camera but are hot get super popular in no time because of the people. This is what they want. Do not let that fool you or deter you from following your passion. You’re not taking too long. It’s just what losers with WiFi survive upon. It takes time for greatness to be recognized.
