I don’t understand…

Like many of you, I post content on social media… particularly Instagram and Facebook. Facebook is mainly for sharing with friends and family, whereas Instagram is more for sharing with the world.

Unfortunately, I’ve noticed a significant decrease in the amount of engagement I’ve been getting on Instagram. A year or more ago, I would easily get 30 to 50 likes on Instagram post, but now I’m lucky to get more than six or seven.

Have any of you noticed the same trend? Or is this something that is unique to me? I think I’m doing everything right, but the number of likes keeps getting smaller. I post things that I like, but I believe the quality of my pictures has gotten better over time, but the interest seems to be lower. Case in point, the above image only received 8 likes in 24 hours. Any thoughts or suggestions would be appreciated.
