When I talk to other people normally I don’t really consider if what I’m doing is going to make them like, save or subscribe to my posts, therefore I don’t need to measure it. More social person might but that’s still an unhealthy amount of reliance on external validation.

    We seem to be talking about different things here. Validation vs engagement. When the only metric you have of visibility is the number of likes, then that's what you use. If you want engagement, your content needs visibility.

    If someone post on social media to spread a message, news or something else, they want to know if their posts are viewed or are just useless because the algorithm hide them; The person in the image cleary is among these people

    I’d rather not have those people on social networks either. Post news if you think they’re worth checking out but don’t make it your mission. We don’t really need more spaces where we get to be sold stuff to, political agendaposting included.

    You don't get the point: "why would i continue posting in this social that hide my shit on purpose when i can use this other one that doesn't?"

    Can you prove that this post was „hidden” and not just ignored by algorithm that boosts content that will ensure longer engagement? Yes, algorithmic timelines are cancer, no need to invent conspiracy theories.

    Isn't that exactly what the OP is complaining about? The exact mechanism doesn't matter. The point is that it's not getting visibility.

    OP is complaining that he’s not the winner of the algorithm. I say fuck algorithms, let’s browse things chronologically. Makes you notice that guys like Randahl Fink produce repetitive and boring drumbeat content for those politically polarised.

    Read the other comments, everyone seem to have the same expirience: every post has somewhat good visibility but when they make one that link to a website, it doesn't get any visibility

    I’m a data analyst because I like to stick to the facts so I’m not interested in anecdotes from self selected population because bias is off the charts here.
