Recently, I made a decision thatโs been brewing for a while: I deleted my Instagram and Facebook page accounts.
Not out of frustration.
Not because of an algorithm change.
But because they had quietly become useless extensions of something I care deeply about: my blog.
They started as ways to share, connect, and reach people โ but over time, they turned into boxes I felt I had to check. โPost something. Share a story. Keep the page alive.โ But there was no real conversation, no meaningful connection. It felt hollow.
So I let them go.
Reclaiming My Focus
I decided to fully focus my energy where it counts:
- Myย WordPress.com blogย โ where I write and share ideas, stories, and reflections that matter to me (and hopefully to you).
- Myย YouTube channelsย โ especially now that Iโve rebranded one of them toย Karl FPV, focused solely on drone enthusiasts, FPV storytelling, and aerial exploration.
By letting go of what no longer serves me, Iโve made room for what does.
Why Fewer Platforms Feel Better
Hereโs what Iโve noticed almost immediately:
โ More clarity. No more mental clutter of โShould I post this on Instagram too?โ or โWhat do I even do with this Facebook page?โ
โ Deeper connection. Iโm now writing for real readers, not scrolling passersby. The people who read my blog or watch my videos are there for the long-form, the storytelling, the real stuff.
โ Creative energy returned. Less multi-tasking means I can actually enjoy writing again, film with intention, and edit without distraction.
โ No chasing algorithms. I’m done measuring the worth of my work by likes, reach, or hashtag strategy.
โ More peace. Social media platforms are loud. My blog and YouTube feel quiet, focused, and purposeful โ like sitting down for a real conversation.
Who Iโm Doing This For
This shift is my way of committing โ not to trends or traffic spikes โ but to you, the person who actually shows up to read and watch.
If you follow my work, thank you. I want you to know that everything I now create is built with focus and care, not for clicks, but for connection.
And if you’re navigating your own overwhelm from platforms that once served you but no longer do โ you’re not alone. It’s okay to let go of what no longer feels right.
Sometimes, less really is more.
And now, Iโm ready to create more of what matters.
