When critiquing my content, should I worry about repeating the same image multiple times in my feed?

Avoid posting the exact same image repeatedly in a short time frame—it looks repetitive or like a bug to viewers. Instead, use the same subject matter but present it differently each time. For example: first post the 2D image of the artwork, second post a photo of you holding the print, third post a video discussing the inspiration or technique. You’re talking about the same piece (same campaign) but in different formats to test what performs best and to keep content feeling fresh. People on social media need to see something new each time, even when you’re promoting the same work. Mix content types between posts to break up repetition.
