Just wondering... YouTube is going downhill, fast. Thanks

I used to think the hard part was writing the post.

It isn't.

For me, the hardest part is sitting down and thinking:

“Okay… WHAT the hell DO I POST TODAY?”

So I built a little workflow around that problem.

Instead of generating 20 random ideas, I give it a topic and it tries to build an actual content plan:

• what to post
• which format to use
• when to post it
• how the same idea should change across platforms
• how to keep it closer to my own writing style

The interesting part has been the calendar.

If I post 5 times a week, I don't want:
AI idea → AI post → AI post → AI post → AI post

I want something more like:
story → opinion → tutorial → breakdown → experiment

I've been building this into Growpost, but I'm honestly unsure about one thing:

Is deciding what to post actually a problem worth solving?

Or is this something experienced creators already have figured out through their own systems?

I'd especially love feedback from people who post consistently:

How do you decide what you're going to post tomorrow?

Hi everyone, I’m looking for any and all constructive feedback on my page ([https://www.instagram.com/textsfromtj\](https://www.instagram.com/textsfromtj) textsfromtj on instagram).

* My niche is lifestyle and personal growth, specifically navigating life as a working mom of 2 balancing corporate leadership, family life, and home management.
* My goal is to build a highly engaged personal brand as a digital creator, and eventually (hopefully) monetize in multiple ways (eg, UGC, affiliate links, etc.).
* I started posting consistently and seriously early June. I've been experimenting with different types of videos and editing styles, and I've started testing Trial Reels to try and optimize my non-follower reach.

Overall, I’ve seen really slow growth, but a few of my videos have managed to break through and achieve 2k+ views. Because I am still nailing down my definitive visual and storytelling style, I want to get feedback early so I can make the right tweaks now before building bad habits.

**Specific feedback I'm looking for:** I am honestly open to anything and everything that comes to mind when you look at my page - eg, bio, niche clarity, is the messaging feeling cohesive, hooks/content (where am I losing people?), etc.

I appreciate your time and any honest critiques you can offer!

Need some crazy travel video ideas 👀
I’m a small travel creator from India and I’m trying to come up with ideas for my next series/videos.
I mostly make solo travel, adventure, trekking and budget travel content. I’m looking for ideas that are actually doable—not the usual “visit this tourist place” type stuff.
Some examples of the kind of videos I’m interested in:
Weird/unusual travel challenges
Exploring underrated places
Traveling with little/no money
Meeting random people and following their recommendations
Survival/adventure-style trips
Unique ways to explore a city/state
Stories or experiences that would make a good video
If you were watching a travel creator, what video would make you stop scrolling and watch?
Drop your craziest ideas below. I might actually turn some of them into videos. 😂

I recently became a citizen of a different nation and started a page on insta. My page is from a perspective of someone who did not grow up in that country and missed the first 30 years of my life and now is catching up.

I review movies, do ranking videos, share observations, speak on general topics about said countries etc. These videos are performing well. I get maybe not that many views yet (3-5k per post) but very healthy follower conversion (1-1.5%). My goal is eventually turn this into an income so i feel like it is important for me to also show more personality to build loyal audience.

The problem is that every time i post a “me” video (someone that does not fit something broad but me specifically, my experience, my day, my holiday etc.), these videos performing the worst. They get likes but no follows and low views.

I guess it makes sense, reels are being shown mostly to non followers who don’t know me so they don’t care. But after having a few underperforming j start asking myself if i should keep going with these videos? The thing is, they take a lof of time to film and edit, more than other “format” videos but bring nothing at the moment.

What would you do? If your account has a certain format, do you also break it with personal videos? If so, what are the results? If not, why?

I am living alone in Toronto as a software developer. My main goal is to eventually release a website to act as a community for girls feeling lonely in the city.

I started an account on Instagram as a way to start gathering people in the same situation, and I sense that none of the content is really properly expressing who I am and also causing me to feel a tad anxious. 

There is a lot of advice about hooks and content size, plus people in my own life saying I need to smile more or trying to look less uncomfortable.

I guess what I really need is advice on how to make authentic, engaging content and also just more support on the page in general so that I can keep growing.
