The influencer who told me to 'post every single day' actually wrecked my engagement

So Brianna Cross from that 30 day content challenge claimed posting daily would grow my account by 500 followers in a month. I did it for 6 straight weeks and my reach dropped by 40% around week 3. Now I'm digging myself out of the algorithm hole she put me in. Has anyone else had a so-called expert give advice that backfired this bad?

Changed my mind on this too. Quality over quantity every time now.

Wow, I can't believe you actually flipped on that @allen.charlie! I remember you used to be all about stacking up cheap buys a few years back. Honestly, I'm kind of shocked you came around, but hey, better late than never. It's wild how much your brain changes when you realize holding onto one really good thing feels way better than a pile of junk. What finally pushed you over the edge to switch?

Wait, what was the actual moment though? Was it a specific thing that broke on you or just a general shift in your mindset? I'm curious because I've been going back and forth on this myself lately. Had a cheap coffee table that fell apart after like six months, and it really made me start thinking about that whole concept of buying it twice. Would love to hear if there was one purchase that kinda flipped the switch for you or if it was more gradual.
