    I hate when people are slaves to the algorithm. It changes all the time, I refuse to let it control everything I do!

    Performative Activism. This has been particularly frustrating, especially from a professional perspective. It is pretty common, especially when a widespread conversation happens, for businesses to want to be part of it. This can be a reasonable and potentially great strategy if done strategically. However, when it comes to social causes, it's a different territory.

    Many clients feel the need to post about a cause or acknowledge a particular holiday, but they often lack depth or substance behind their message. For instance, an organization mainly comprised of men insisting on posting about International Women's Day with a video of the male CEO... It can lead to challenging and uncomfortable conversations on my end and becomes a delicate situation to navigate.

    Too Many Hashtags. Don’t get me wrong, hashtags are great and enhance searchability but #CanYouImagine #HavingToRead #WordsLikeThis #AllTheTime on #SocialMedia? Using fewer hashtags that directly relate to your content will result in a more enjoyable reader experience.

    May be a tie between “Can you post this flyer?” and “The event is tomorrow and we are low on numbers. Can you post something?”

    Trend content that feels SO off brand. If you are a serious brand why are you posting the Barbie meme?

    Personally I hate the complexity of the Facebook Ads Manager dashboard.  It’s more complicated than the cockpit of a Boeing 747 airliner. ✈

    I am bothered by them more in images and videos vs. text, but I hear you

    Being looped into projects after creative for social has been created. And all of the above. However, @amanda.lor is it bad that I can read hashtags better than normal text sometimes?

    I admit I use them at the bottom when they ARE not meant to be read, but searchable.
