was there ever actually any proof that socmed sites suppress posts with words like "commission" or "shop" in them, or is that just the boogeyman we all collectively invented to explain away the fact that people simply do not interact as much with posts where you ask them for money

#like I know The AlgorithmTM is real and does actually fuck people over in a lot of oblique ways #but I also think a LOT of what people attribute to The AlgorithmTM is really just... being bad at promoting themselves #which is a very real and understandable struggle but sometimes you gotta just accept you aren't reaching your desired audience yet #no evil secret internet math required.#there's an artist I really like who requires like THREE clickthroughs to get to her actual shop from any random post on her blog #'conversion goes down with each additional click required' is like online marketing 101 but I think unfortunately also not common knowledge #unless you have at least like 60% of a graphic design degree like I do
