You don&rsquo;t need to worry about the technical details, and you don&rsquo;t need to worry about the layout of the page. All you need to do is find something to post and hope it makes its way to people who are interested in it. This sounds good in theory. But, when flipping these statements, it becomes clear that there is a loss that comes with this convenience. You do not fully know how the social media you use works. Even if you have some understanding, there are still parts that are intentionally hidden from you, such as how the algorithm ranks what posts to show you and what posts get you falsely marked as a spammer. You cannot control the layout of your own profile. God forbid you want your cool art to not be so compressed and ugly!</p>
