hey, just wanted to ask, how on earth do you maintain your rate of posting??
I threw together a helper tool using python. Whenever possible, it automates all the various steps of creating posts, such as crediting the artist, including links to their socials, shrinking large image files, uploading the image to a host...
It also doesn't actually post at the same rate that I find things to post. I was having to stop myself or I would go on spammy posting sprees when doing it manually, because I usually find hundreds of pieces worth sharing at a time. The tool lets me queue up all those posts with very little of the tedium of copy pasting links and artist names, and instead of me making a hundred posts all at once, it spreads them out over time.
