📱 WHY EVERY PLATFORM EVENTUALLY TURNS ON ITS USERS: The Life Cycle Of Social Apps & Creator Burnout

Why Every Platform Eventually Turns on Its Users explores the hidden life cycle behind today’s biggest social apps and why creators inevitably burn out, get buried, or pushed aside.

This book breaks down how platforms rise by rewarding users, then slowly shift priorities toward ads, control, and profit — often at the expense of the very people who built them. It dives into algorithm changes, shadow reach, monetization traps, creator fatigue, and the psychological toll of always being “on.”

Written for creators, entrepreneurs, influencers, and everyday users, this book helps you understand the patterns so you can stop taking platform changes personally, protect your mental health, and build smarter, more sustainable digital strategies that don’t rely on one app.

If you’ve ever felt like a platform suddenly stopped working for you, this book explains why — and what to do next.
