Social media growth hits different at every stage. Early on with under 500 followers, you're basically the reply guy trying to get noticed anywhere. Once you crack 501 followers, the goal shifts to dropping niche content that actually resonates. By the time you hit 2-5K, you're hunting engagement through whatever works—even if it means some thirst traps mixed in. The 5-10K range? That's parody news territory. Then comes 10-25K where cringe threads somehow become your bread and butter. Between 25-50K you're pretty much posting whatever chaos crosses your mind. Hit 50-75K and suddenly you're dropping fortune cookies like you've got all the answers. Push to 75-100K and the cringe turns into bangers—or at least that's the theory. Finally, cross 100K and the main skill becomes dodging cancellation. It's a whole journey from nobody to somebody to targeted.
