QUOTABLES: "About 80% of my posts are reposts, like literally taking something from a few months ago and posting it again or recreations of something from the past. So if you reverse that math, that means that only about 20% of my posts require new effort, or a lot of effort, or a new idea or something fresh." — Brock Johnson "So the Instagram algorithm is what is called a social based algorithm, meaning that Instagram cares about your social network... whereas on TikTok, it's what's called a content based algorithm." — Brock Johnson GUEST RESOURCES: Brock Johnson IG | @brock11johnson Stop the scroll and grab attention with Brock’s top 25 viral hooks.
