MOTM #686: Why Does Social Media Suck So Much These Days?

October 13, 2025

I don’t know if you’ve noticed, but the internet sucks now. And when I say the “internet” what I really mean is Instagram and Threads. The algorithm only rewards either rage bait or meaningless slop, and I’m not having fun the way I used to online. But social media isn’t going anywhere and it’s also an important element of running an online business. So while social media may suck, we’ve got to find a way to use it that feels right.

Let’s chat.

Welcome to Maestro on the Mic, a podcast that helps online business owners find their passion, generate more profit, and build a life that they love. I'm your host, Dr. Shanté Cofield, aka The Movement Maestro, and I’m stoked to have you here. I hope this podcast inspires you to make moves and do the thing. Action is the answer.

In This Episode You'll Hear:
  • Tofu or Ragebait, and nothing in-between
  • Hitting the content ceiling
  • The algorithm is destructive to creativity
  • Put the phone down
  • Don’t fall for the rage-bait
  • Prioritize connection
  • The pendulum always swings back
  • Create what you want to be seeing
