Content VS Algorithms: Who Is the King?

Table of Contents

Social media marketers dedicate lots of time on social media and content strategies just to find themselves at the mercy of social networks’ algorithm changes. It, therefore, raises the question of whether it is still reasonable to invest in relevant and creative content rather than to focus on technical elements and paid social budgets.

The digital world has been recently struck with the news of big companies quitting social media. The perfect example is the well-known cosmetics brand “Lush”, which recently declared the closing of all social media accounts related to its brand.

"We are tired of fighting with algorithms, and we do not want to pay to appear in your newsfeed,” -was the statement to the brand's followers.

It did not take long for Instagram to review the “like”-approach. The Facebook-owned social media platform might soon remove the feature of seeing the number of likes under each post

"We want your followers to focus on what you share, not how many likes your posts get. During this test, only the person who shared a post will see the total number of likes it gets." states the app.

The social media platforms admit to implementing unique sets of technical elements, intricate logic, and usage analytics that make up algorithms which therefore control the content delivery to the users. No wonder that even the best thought-out and creative posts don’t bring the expected engagement unless promoted by advertisement or going viral.

So are YOU ready to take on the new algorithm changes? We would love to hear from you on this matter! Have you already noticed the decline in your customer engagement?

How do you plan to face this challenge? Let us know in the comments below.
