Why I’m Quitting Social Media (and What I’m Doing This Instead)
8 min readAug 2, 2021
If I’m honest, social media and I have been growing apart for some time now.
The endless algorithm changes, the growing number of ads and products, and the fact that I have to post selfies for my content to be seen by anyone (which I don’t enjoy!)
And even when I do post a selfie, it still reaches only a fraction of my connections. Most of the engagement is just because it’s my face and not because of the content that I work so hard to craft in support of people who need it. Lame.
Social media is noisy and tiring and I just don’t want to do it anymore.
So, I’m not!
I’m quitting social media indefinitely, and I feel really good about it.
