Haydenfield discussed his approach to social media, stating he intentionally avoids checking who views his stories or likes his posts on platforms like Instagram and Twitter. He believes this 'post into the void' mindset helps him avoid being overly conscious of public perception, which he sees as a detriment on social media.
“I don't check who views my story on Instagram, who likes my post on Twitter or Instagram.”
“I only read comments. I don't check, like likes, I don't check views on any social media platform because it helps me feel like I'm just posting into the void.”
“I haven't looked in years because I think if you start, you never stop.”
