Every platform's algorithm seems to change weekly, leaving creators constantly adapting. Do you find yourself tailoring content to what you think the algorithm wants, or do you stick to what genuinely interests your audience? Share experiences with algorithm changes that helped or hurt your reach, and strategies for balancing algorithmic optimization with authentic content creation.

I create content for audience, if my content is great, it will obviously caught the eye of algorithm and will rank higher. The kind of content that ranks high are also the content that are also loved by people. If people love it, search algorithms also love it.

Honestly I stopped chasing the algorithm obsessively. I focus on what my audience actually wants first then optimize around that. Yeah, algorithm changes hurt sometimes but my core audience stuck around because the content felt genuine. I think authenticity is the real long game algorithms shift but real connection doesn't.

I’d love to say “for the audience,” but truth be told, algorithm still hold that power. You can make a fire content, but if algorithm does not push it, it dies in silence. I try to balance both, make my people happy, but still package it for algorithm to pick it. It's just a survival tactic.

These algorithms behave like mood swings sometimes 😅. I focus on audience first, though. If the people relate to your contents, they’ll help push it naturally. But you can’t totally ignore the system either. To be honest , the game is for those who can adapt.
