This hits hard. The burnout part is real, especially the “doing everything right but not knowing what’s actually wrong” phase.
One thing I’d add from my side: most creators don’t fail because they don’t work hard; they fail because their feedback loop is broken. Platform analytics tell you *what happened*, not *why*. So people keep grinding instead of fixing.
What helped me was separating **creation** from **analysis**. I batch content, then review performance objectively later instead of emotionally right after posting. Using a planner like **Indzu Social** made that easier because I can see patterns across posts instead of obsessing over one flop.
2026 really does feel like the year where retention literacy matters more than talent. If you can diagnose why someone leaves, you can fix almost anything.
