If your audience is in the US but the algo keeps pushing your content to random Europeans, that's not a targeting issue—it's the platform literally choosing geography over intent.
Let that sink in. The system thinks where someone lives matters more than what they actually care about.
This breaks the entire creator economy. Your real audience—the people actively searching for your work—gets buried while locals who don't give a damn see your posts.
Worst part? Creators are now doing VPN tricks, weird posting schedules, and browser hacks just to game the system into showing their content to the right people.
You shouldn't have to outsmart an algorithm to reach people who are already looking for you.
The play is simple: own your audience directly. Build your list, your community, your distribution.
When you control the relationship, location becomes irrelevant context—not a barrier blocking your growth.
