Creating content is very easy, and it doesn’t have to be good content to get views.

The problem for most people is that they CAN create content, but they can’t distribute it.

Elon Musk can post a “.” on x.com and it gets 100 million views on that single dot, but when you post a “.” you get just 10 views.

So there’s a fundamental flaw in the algorithms where they promote those who already have reach.

Content doesn’t equal distribution.

The algorithms on YouTube, X, TikTok, Facebook won’t give 100000000000000000000000 views for an account with 10 followers, the web doesn’t just work that way.

And you can drop masterpieces into the void.

So it makes sense to boost post if you want to distribute it beyond your 10 followers.

Nothing is going to happen if you just keep posting for the same 10-20 followers.

Sure you could grow organically but it will take years, not minutes because many people are trying to ‘grow’ on the same platform and are competing for the same attention.

Let’s say Facebook, it does not care if you post for fun, or try to build a business or you post a status update.

There’s the same problem on YouTube, if let’s say people type some search and see video 1M views vs 10 views, they are going to click the 1M views video, not 10 views video, and the thumb does not matter most of the time.

So, if you want to actually grow on Facebook or YouTube you need to buy attention on your content rather than just posting into the void. Spending money on posts to build an initial audience can save you years of posting.

Today the platforms are made to promote content, and I noticed there are views when you pay or have lots of followers, but not when you don’t pay and have 10 followers.

It’s not about the individual post quality.
