Is My Phone Stalking Me?

To my fellow phone users, do you ever feel like someone in your phone is listening? Like for instance, you and your friend are sitting around talking about how much you love shoes, and for the next 2 days you see nothing but the cutest shoes all over your feed making it impossible for you to not buy those shoes.

Well, never fear Amanda is her to explain why this happens to all of us and this is because of a little thing called algorithms! No, not like math! Let me breakdown why social media. Social media algorithms in social media platforms can be defined as technical means of sorting posts based on relevancy instead of publish time, in order to prioritize which content an user sees first according to the likelihood that they will actually engage with such content. So basically, we see what is most relevant to us and our liking rather than sifting through everything that does not pertain to us on the internet.

THE DO’S AND DON’TS OF SOCIAL MEDIA ALGORITHMS

So how do we make algorithms lucrative and how do we create patterns to have our own media become apart of someone else’s algorithm. Here’s your guide:

Do post regularly , Do considering posting different content on different channels, Do add captions to videos, Do engage with partner pages-If you engage with content on partner pages, they are likely to return the favor and engage with your content, Do consider size when creating graphics for social media, Do use a combination of photos and graphics on your page, Do make sure your content is at least 50% original content. Don’t include a URL on a graphic. Don’t post the same content repeatedly .Don’t create social media pages on new platforms if you do not have the capacity to maintain the page. Don’t post the same content repeatedly! According to https://www.canr.msu.edu/news/social-media-do-s-and-don-ts
