EPISODE 103: You Saw My Post, Why Didn't You Like It? Guest Host: Steve Trott for the Don't Follow Me Series

What the Nell!?

Ever had that moment where you refresh your feed obsessively, waiting for that one 'like' to validate your post? That's where Steve Trott and I found ourselves, entangled in the digital web of social media engagement. On our latest podcast episode, we peel back the layers of online interactions, discussing everything from the peculiar psychology behind our digital behaviors to the intricacies of 'like' culture. Together, we laugh, commiserate, and offer insights into why your friends might be ghosting your latest selfie.

Amidst our chatter, we share personal accounts of how the hunt for virtual thumbs-ups can distort the way we view ourselves. It's not all fun and filters, though; the conversation turns to the weightier side of social media as we scrutinize the depth of engagement. Do comments hold more clout than likes? Can the time of day make or break your post's success? And why do we sometimes engage out of habit rather than genuine interest? Steve and I tackle these questions head-on, candidly revealing our own strategies for navigating the tempestuous seas of online presence.

As we round off the episode, we pivot to the heart of the matter: authenticity. Are we curating our feeds for others, or are we staying true to our unfiltered selves? From sharing content with purpose to resisting the siren call of endless scrolling, we explore ways to maintain an intentional and meaningful digital footprint. And as our global community tunes in, we're reminded of the power of real connections, even in a virtual world. So grab your earbuds and get ready to rethink the way you click, comment, and connect.
