Monetization is quietly killing social media.
Not because people are earning—but because earning is now prioritized over thinking.
We’ve entered an age where the algorithm rewards virality, not value.
Loudness over wisdom.
Hooks over healing.
Trends over truth.
And what does that do to original creators?
We now have to contort.
We’re forced to trim our depth, speed up our speech, mimic the trending tone, and collapse complex ideas into snackable, swipeable fluff just to be seen.
It’s no longer “create from the heart.”
It’s “create for the machine.”
Creators with real originality—those who used to educate, inspire, disturb, enlighten—are now ghosting themselves just to survive the scroll.
Because if we dare to slow down, teach deeper, or go against the algorithmic grain, we get buried.
But here’s the deeper cost:
We’re building entire followings off of dopamine, not depth.
We’re gaining “likes” but losing legacy.
And for those of us who started with truth in our bones,
this slow dilution is a kind of spiritual erosion.
But let this be a reminder:
The algorithm might own the feed…
But you own your voice.
If you have to adapt, adapt wisely.
But don’t trade your soul for reach.
Don’t become a parody of your own power.
Real originality still matters.
Even if it doesn’t trend.
