1. Companies that don't give their social managers work phones can go to hell.

2. Brands that interact with each other too much are dorky as hell.

3. Organic social managers should get paid more than paid social managers.

4. You don’t need to post on the brand account every day.

5. Posting manually feels better than scheduling.

6. TikTok isn't social media. It's more like TV. Brand follower count shouldn’t matter there.
