This topic coincides with several posts I have seen recently. These posts share a common goal of debunking the ‘post everyday myth’. They offer ample discouragement to follow that path while sharing reasons it is a fad.
Posting new things everyday became a thing at the height of social media. It was common to see social media strategists and advisors telling people to post everyday (I was also a culprit).
I tried it though, in the spirit of practicing what I preached. But I did not keep up. This is the major reason my Instagram page is a ghost house.
I blame the algorithms, though. You need to warm up your account with regular posts. Otherwise, your next posts will be seen less by your followers. They will also be seen less by other users on those platforms.
Besides, posting every day or publishing new posts per time causes fatigue. There is another downside to this practice. Frequent posting can also lead to burnout.

The breakdown
These levels can be applied to or used for:
