Episode 29: We Sound Bitter

Self Made Pod

Hotline Bling

In this episode, we touch on gaming, social media burnout, and personal updates. Sam talks about feeling unmotivated with the seasonal change, while Mike expresses frustration with creating content and the superficial nature of social media. We all feel that the focus on quick, attention-grabbing content has diminished the sense of community and passion.
We also discuss Instagram's changes—too much suggested content, lack of control over our feeds, and constant algorithm shifts. It’s mentally draining, and we feel like Instagram isn't listening. To cope, we focus on following meaningful accounts, staying aware of paid content, and taking breaks. Ultimately, we want a platform that feels more valuable and user-friendly.
