Curious Creator Club

a hidden benefit of having a chronological feed of all of the people you follow:

as a creator, you cease to have the 24/7 pressure of having to be active on the platform

when i tried to grow on X, if you missed the consistency part of it, the punishment was BIG

i wish that changes, because i don’t want to be trapped on a cage that doesn’t allow me to disconnect from time to time

(and i don’t think that pattern is healthy for the human experience. but if the platform punishes you for touching grass, how can we encourage people to do that?)

Facebook is the same way - if you're not posting constantly, your reach tanks.  I dropped from 4 million impressions in a month to less than 300,000 when I was in the hospital and for the month or so after when I was still mostly out of it from meds because I couldn't keep up with posting.  It's rough out there.

It's part of why I ended up on Farcaster.  It didn't actually impact my core income - that comes from about 150 followers who donate as they can and it ends up adding up to enough to keep me going.  Facebook itself doesn't pay me a lot at all - even with peaking at 4 million reach the last month, I've only made $35 in the official creator bonus program - I made $145 there last month.  So even with the dip in value Moxie has experienced, I've made more here in one month than I've made the last several months combined through Facebook's official monetization programs.

omg that’s insane 

how did that impact you as a creator?
