A group of kids entered an online singing contest.

They were excited. They practiced. They filmed their first song—and posted it.

But the mic was broken, and there was no sound.

“No likes?” said one kid. “We just need to post more!”

So they sang another song.

Then another.

Then ten more.

Still, no one watched. Or liked. Or shared.

“Keep going!” they cried. “Sing faster! Sing louder! Post everything!”

They sang until their throats hurt.

They posted until their batteries died.

They shouted into a broken mic until there was nothing left to shout.

And the contest?
It ended without them.
