Welcome back to another digital artefact update!! The end of the semester is coming up and I am extremely proud of what I have been able to produce during the semester. Since the start of the semester I have had a lot of positive experiences and feedback from my audience but also a lot of negative and helpful feedback which has shaped my DA to what it is today. I have tried not let my page turn into a page that produces content that filters well into Instagram’s algorithm. Instagram’s platforms has been designed so that content that they approve of and gains likes quickly gets pushed into the algorithm. This is why I haven’t been stressing a lot about my followers and likes on my posts as I know it’s not the most important as it’s not actually an audience. Instead I have been focusing more on posting content that caters towards my target demographic which are people that get infuriated over small things in life. I feel as though over the semester I have definitely reached a niche audience that cannot be found elsewhere on Instagram which is what my main goal was starting my page. 

My goals from now till the end of the semester is to broaden my audience a little bit more by promoting my page more on instagram by continuing to use hashtags to find my audience. I also want to get added into at least 1 DM engagement group chat on Instagram by the end of the semester which would require me to DM many more different accounts asking them if they knew any. I will continue to observe my main niche audience on reddit keeping up with all trends and patterns that occur on the r/mildlyinfuriating subreddit as it will help me keep my main target audience engaged with what they might like to see.
