My take on algorithm favoritism did a 180 after my cat video oddly took off
Looking for tips on what really makes content pop now.

That "forgetting the camera" thing makes sense, maybe platforms can literally smell when you're trying too hard.

Yeah it's wild how the stuff we don't overthink just hits sometimes lol. I've noticed the videos where I'm just genuinely reacting to something dumb my kid did get way more traction than anything I plan out. The algorithm seems to pick up on that real moment, not just the subject. So maybe it's less about making "what's popular" and more about forgetting the camera is even there.

Honestly @elliotshah, you're totally right. I forced a bunch of "perfect" shots for a project last month and they all fell flat. The one clip of me just laughing at a complete mess in my garage did way better. It really does feel like the second you stop trying to make content, that's when it actually works.
