🌌 Feeling Lost and Frustrated in Content Creation  For almost a year, I’ve been trying to create content on TikTok, but despite all my efforts, nothing worked. I experimented with so many different types of content, yet I never got any meaningful results. I still have around 3,500 subscribers, but my views are extremely low. No matter how hard I try to solve this, the outcome has been a complete disappointment. 😔📉

I tried to understand the problem, and I think it mostly comes down to the algorithm. Plus, since my videos are Al-generated, they simply aren’t being promoted. They aren’t liked, shared, or even commented on. Hours pass, and there’s still no engagement. The highest organic view count I’ve seen is just over 2,000. I’ve been dealing with this for a year now. Instagram and YouTube haven’t been any different, and I still can’t figure out why.

Many of you probably wonder: “Why don’t you share real fashion shows instead of AI-generated ones?”
The answer is simple: sharing real fashion show videos from different brands isn’t legal. These videos are protected by copyright, so you can’t post them as-is without commentary. For me, that wouldn’t even count as creating content. I wanted to make my own content, using AI, and I was confident it would yield results.

But the results were heartbreaking. All my effort felt wasted. A whole year, full of effort, brought me little to nothing. While I may have gained experience in many ways, I didn’t achieve what I wanted. And now, I have no idea what to do next with YouTube, Instagram, or TikTok. Each platform needs its own type of content, but again, it isn’t working.


⚡ Algorithm Struggles and Reality

On TikTok, my videos don’t get featured because the algorithm misinterprets them—labeling fashion content as nudity, for example. AI-generated content also doesn’t get promoted. On Instagram, it’s mostly about luck: one random video might blow up and suddenly reach millions, but that’s purely chance. I’ve realized this late, but I keep posting anyway. Still, results remain minimal.

For YouTube, my experience was challenging because I jumped straight into fashion without any formal training. The gap between what I wanted to achieve and what I could do was enormous. Even with my psychological struggles, near-depression moments, and moments on the edge of despair, I blamed myself for not doing enough. I keep convincing myself that no matter what I did, it wasn’t enough.


🌱 Moving Forward

So, what should happen next? I honestly have no clear plan. I will continue sharing content on YouTube, but I will stop posting Shorts for now. I’m considering deleting some Shorts videos, keeping only certain ones.

I believe AI will dominate content creation more in the future, but ironically, AI-generated content might be less viewed over time. Think about it—you can produce a thousand videos of the same type. Then, the value of your effort diminishes, and the meaning of your work fades. I still want to create fashion content, but sharing content from other brands isn’t legal.


💔 Reflections

I truly feel awful. A whole year of hope and effort has vanished. No matter how bad I feel, I have to face reality. TikTok content creation is paused, and I’m considering the same for Instagram. My recent posts barely get 30–100 views. For someone who has invested a year of effort, this is painfully low. The core problem? The AI itself, I believe. There’s no other explanation.

Some people make big money and gain views using AI-generated content. But I think that’s pure luck—an exception. Am I going to be that exception? I have no guarantee.

Still, I keep trying for YouTube. Many people earn from AI content there. I want to pioneer AI-driven fashion content. When I compare my dreams to my actual circumstances, I see how powerless I am. I have no resources, no network, no formal training. My dreams might sound unrealistic to anyone sane. And yet, I keep dreaming, experimenting, hoping—even when I’m unsure of the outcome.
