What's your policy on gifted vs paid?
I used to accept gifted only at the start to build relationships. Now I say no to anything unpaid but I wonder if I'm cutting off brands who'd eventually pay. How do you handle the gifted ask?

Totally agree. I stopped accepting gifted two years ago and it was the right call.
TikTok creativity fund is basically a rounding error at this point.
I've been noticing this too — anyone know if there's a seasonal pattern to brand spend?
30 days of posting burned me out for weeks after. Quality > quantity every time.
The analytics obsession is real. I turned off the app notifications and it helped a little.
