Yes, I have.
I posted a reel once that I actually put effort into. Took multiple shots, edited it properly, even wrote a decent caption. Posted it and just... nothing. Like 43 views in two hours while everyone else's random blurry content was hitting thousands.
I deleted it the same night.
And the worst part? I knew it was a good post. I just couldn't stand seeing that low number sitting there. It felt like public proof that nobody cared.
Looking back, that's kind of sad. I let an algorithm decide whether my effort was worth keeping. But yeah, that's exactly what I did.
