In this episode of Social Media Decoded, Michelle Thames breaks down why trend fatigue, borrowed language, and algorithm-driven messaging are causing originality to disappear across social media platforms. She explains how losing your voice quietly weakens authority, why conviction matters more than virality, and how to reclaim clarity in your brand messaging.

This is a must-listen for entrepreneurs, creators, consultants, and professionals who want long-term visibility without blending into the noise.
