I'm still in the mode of "Bangers only" for Instagram at least. I want to share my best work there and I don't want to succumb to the dumb trend of low-effort iphone videos for engagement. I am a photographer/videographer so I want to share the highest quality work I possibly can.

I also share "bangers only" for the most part on all of my platforms, but I do like how Threads and Twitter allow for a more conversational interaction rather than just images being the focus.

Going to networking events (like Imaging USA, Outdoor Retailer, or WPPI depending on what you shoot), going to photography lectures and meeting with people there, joining photography workshops and meeting other photographers, posting in Facebook groups (so not just your own socials), etc.
