"Should I jump on every trend so I don't miss out?"

"Should I jump on every trend so I don't miss out?"

Short answer: no, and chasing all of them is the actual mistake.

Here's why. When every post chases an unrelated trend, your account stops having a topic. The algorithm struggles to classify you, your audience stops knowing why they followed, and your saves and follows-per-view drop even as views spike. The fix: filter trends through one question, "can I make this about my niche without forcing it?" If yes, ride it. If you'd have to bend it past recognition, skip it. Two on-topic trend posts a week beat seven random ones. Relevance compounds, randomness resets you.
