I was going through the same pain at a smaller scale. 25k followers, photography wasnt really a business and I have a full time job but it just murdered any chance of that in the platform. Hundreds of dollars per post to be seen by a fraction of followers was insane. 5 comments
 @Rjdlandscapes @KiwiEV this is #enshittification. It doesn't have to be this way, but people have to refuse the walled gardens / silos en masse to change things. Fortunately, the Fediverse seems to finally be gaining more sustained traction. Be the change you want to see in the world! Just say NO to Farcebook and Xitter! |

@Rjdlandscapes @KiwiEV if you think about it, pay for reach had always been the case for non-social media, but the bait-and-switch that FB was the most egregious in ramping up in social has always felt like a really, really nasty betrayal (though I saw it coming way ahead of the actual switch, and was so depressed that others couldn't see it).
I actually saw a graphic the other day that summed up why I always hated FB way more than the other tech giants, this is from @pluralistic 's book "The Internet Con: How to Seize the Means of Computation"
