Social MEDIA Crap

Well, here we are again.

Tik Tok was just banned in the US, not that I was ever on Tik Tok, and Instagram could care less about its users. All I see on Facebook now are accounts they are suggesting I follow. Where have all my friends gone? As a small business, this Instagram low view situation is killing me. It’s angering and frustrating me. I’m ready to chuck it all into the fire but I also don’t want to lose the YEARS of effort I’ve put into building Sour up. Sales are barely there, so is social media even helping? Could I just shut it all down?

The alternative apps aren’t quite ready or even any different. Should I just go to exclusively updating people through newsletters, postcards or carrier pigeons? Is this what it has come to? I only have questions right now and a boat load of rage.

Is anyone going to even bother reading this? I put a poll up or question on Instagram stories and less than a handful of people respond out of the double digits that saw it. This is so discouraging but we all say we support small businesses, right? Just not in that way I suppose. Am I done complaining? Probably not. I don’t pretend to be anything else but myself.

Keep your eyes peeled for my next moves. Or maybe one day you’ll ask yourselves “ Hmm, haven’t seen a Sour post in a while.” Check in on your small businesses. It’s rough out here doing the job of 10 people and living a life.

love,
