Am I the only one who thinks the 'post three times a day' advice is a trap for burnout?

I tried it for a month and my engagement actually dropped 40% because the quality tanked (you know, posting just to post). Has anyone else found a better rhythm, like maybe one really solid piece of content every other day?

Seriously, it's about the algorithm's hunger, not your schedule!

Totally get what you're saying. I burned myself out trying to post every single day for the feed. The stuff I was making just got worse and worse because I was rushing. Cutting back to a few times a week, but actually planning those posts, made a huge difference. The numbers evened out and it stopped feeling like a second job.

What kind of content were you posting? I had the same thing happen, my followers totally noticed the drop in quality. I switched to two good posts a week and it's way more sustainable.
