As a photographer who was told Reels/TikTok is the next wave, coming up with video content to find potential clients - in addition to trying to find photography clients - feels like another job atop my bread and butter.

I actually enjoy doing videos, and have been brainstorming for new ideas. But making content to satisfy a seemingly arbitrary algorithm is a pain in the ass.

Never mind the barrage of pop-ups and prompts that feel the need to overexplain everything to me like I'm 5. Just give me the simpler Internet from my college years in the early-2000s (minus the pop-up ads).
